  • Archaeological Excavations and Research XLVI) ISSN 0205-07-22 (Print)
    D. Vladimirova-Aladzova. Serdika 6th - 7th century. Coin circulation, weights, seals. (Archaeological excavations and Research XLVI) ISSN 0205-07-22 (print). Sofia. The monograph includes an analysis of the coins, weights (exagii) and seals found during archeological excavations in Serdica over the last 20 years. These artifacts have a direct bearing on trade and economic relations in Serdica, revealing the connection between the city and the central government in Byzantium. Some of the studied artifacts are unknown until now in science, and the problems posed a challenge for any specialist. Despite the huge amount of information about Serdica and the large number of scientific studies dedicated to the city, so far the problems of the transition from the late antique to the medieval city and the changes that took place in the 6th - 7th century have not been developed. According to archaeologists, information about this period is difficult to establish due to the destruction of buildings from the period of later Ottoman and modern buildings. Against the background of the limited and not always chronologically reliable data from the terrain, the study includes reasonably dated monuments of importance for the history of the city during this period. The study is the first experience in the scientific literature, which analyzes the coinage, weights and seals of the 6th - 7th century in Serdica. These artifacts illuminate, supplement, and in some cases correct, the hitherto known historical and archaeological information about the city during the period of 6th – 7th centuries. D. Vladimirova-Aladzhova. Salt, pepper and ... archeology. Faber, 2009.

NEW HAVEN, CONN. Foreword This outline of modern Bulgarian literature is the result of an exchange of memories of Bulgaria between the authors some years ago in New York. We both have visited Bulgaria many times, we have had many personal friends among its scholars and statesmen, and we feel a deep sympathy for the tragic plight of this long-suffering Slavic nation with its industrious and hard-working people. We both feel also that it is an injustice to Bulgaria and a loss to American Slavic scholarship that, in spite of the importance of Bulgaria for the Slavic world, so little attention is paid to the country's cultural contributions. This is the more deplorable for American influence in Bulgaria was great, even before World War I. Many Bulgarians were educated in Robert Col- lege in Constantinople and after World War I in the American College in Sofia, one of the institutions supported by the Near East Foundation. Many Bulgarian professors have visited the United States in happier times. So it seems unfair that Ameri- cans and American universities have ignored so completely the development of the Bulgarian genius and culture during the past century.
