  • Bulgaria's Pirin Mountains
    The Pirin Mountains, Bulgaria ABODE OF THE THUNDER GOD 13th - 27th June Introduction The YRC meet to Bulgaria came about after a chance communication from Lizzie Alderson, who runs Pirin Adventures, a company which provides mountaineering, trekking and walking holidays in the Pirin Mountains of Bulgaria. Further conversations with Lizzie in Leeds and some research on the internet confirmed that it would be a novel and extremely interesting location for an overseas meet, with plenty of scope for a fortnight’s hut-to-hut trekking, taking in ridges and summits as we pleased. Named after Perun, the Thracian god of thunder and lightning, the Pirin Mountains are crystalline and located in southwest Bulgaria within the western part of the Rila-Rhodope massif. The Pirin massif slopes southwards and has a width of 30-35km. The main axis is oriented NW-SE with an approximate length of 70km. The northern part of the range comprises the Pirin National Park of 232 square kilometres, which has UNESCO status. The geology is complex but the mountain ridges are mostly granite. The Koncheto ridge and its continuation over Kutelo and Vihren summits are different and comprise marbleised karst with remains of the granite intrusion and some limestone. Limestone is also present around Mt Orelyak to the east. There are over 180 glacial tarns and lakes in Pirin. The Alpine zone scree and rocks are replaced by sub-alpine meadow-bush areas around 2300m and mountain forest between 1000-2000m. This ecological diversity was enhanced by the rapidly ablating snowfields present in June, providing us with an amazing display of flora and fauna.

The crowd stood still in expectation. Posing for a while against each other, the dancers jumped simultaneously. Dabaka moved with dexterity to Christina. She gently ran on her toes passing by him. Both looked at each other from head to toe as if wanting to show their superiority and continued their dance. Christina waved her white hand- kerchief, swayed her white neck like a swan and gently floated in the vortex of sound, created by the merry bagpipe. Her face turned hot… Dabaka was in complete trance. With hands freely crossed on his back he moved like a deer performing wondrous jumps in front of her … Then, shaking his head to let the heavy sweat drops fall from his face, he made a movement as if retreating.

Jana III Sobieskiego 2, 41-902 Bytom, Poland e-mail: [email protected] 2 National Museum of Natural History, Tsar Osvoboditel Blvd 1, 1000 Sofia, Bulgaria e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The collections of neuropterid orders from Bulgaria and Romania preserved in museums in Poland (Upper Silesian Museum in Bytom and Museum and Institute of Zoology in Warsaw) are identified. Faunistic information on 89 species is reported: 77 species from Bulgaria and 37 species from Romania (25 species from both countries). Coniopteryx (Xeroconiopteryx) atlasensis, Megalomus tineoides, Cunctochrysa cosmia and Neuroleon assimilis are new species for the fauna of Bulgaria. These first records shift the range borders of three species with 190 to 700 km northwards. Easternmost localities of Phaeostigma (Phaeostigma) pilicollis and Nothochrysa capitata and northernmost locality of Neuroleon assimilis are registered. The new localities outline the borders of the ranges of 20 species. Very rare species are Phaeostigma (Pontoraphidia) rhodopicum (Balkan endemic species), Libelloides lacteus (a single population in Romania), Coniopteryx (Metaconiopteryx) lentiae (in Romania), Coniopteryx (Holoconiopteryx) haematica and Sagittalata perla (both in Bulgaria), and Nedroledon anatolicus (in both countries). Key words: Raphidioptera, Megaloptera, Neuroptera, faunistics, Bulgaria, Romania. INTRODUCTION The fauna of all three neuropterid orders of Romania and Bulgaria is well explored and the species diversity is almost fully known.

  • Two-Winged Insects (Insecta: Diptera) of Pirin
    Historia naturalis bulgarica, 21: 215-256, 2015 Two-winged insects (Insecta: Diptera) of Pirin Zdravko Hubenov Abstract: A total of 742 two-winged species that belong to 43 families have been reported from Pirin Mt. The larger number of species (394 species, or 53.2%) has been found in the beech forest belt. The established species belong to 72 areo- graphical categories. The dipterous fauna can be divided into 2 main groups: 1) species with Mediterranean type of distribution (48 species, or 6.4%) – more thermophilic and distributed mainly in the southern parts of the Palaearctic. Five species of southern type, distributed in the Palaearctic and beyond it, can be formally related to this group as well; 2) species with Palaearctic and Eurosiberian type of distribution (694 species, or 93.6%) – more cold-resistant and widely distributed in the Palaearctic. 155 species of northern type, distributed in the Palaearctic and beyond it, can be formally related to this group as well. The zoogeographical character of the Tachinidae fauna is determined by the second group. The ration of the two groups is different in the separate vegetation belts of Pirin Mt. Key words: Diptera, Bulgaria, Pirin Mt., faunistic composition Introduction The first data for Diptera of Pirin Mt. are report- 2002, 2004; Dzhambazov & Beshovski, 2000; ed by Drensky (1929).

    THE BIRTH OF EUROPE: EXCAVATIONS AT THE NEOLITHIC SETTLEMENT OF ILINDENTSI, BULGARIA Course ID: ARCH XL159 May 20 – June 16, 2018 DIRECTORS: Dr. Małgorzata Grębska-Kulova, Curator and research fellow at the Department of Archaeology, Blagoevgrad Regional Museum of History; Visiting professor at South West University, Bulgaria; Balkan Heritage Foundation affiliate ([email protected]) Mr. Petar Zidarov, PhD candidate in Archaeology, Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen, Germany; Visiting professor at the Department of Archaeology and Center for Vocational and Continuing Education and Research assistant at the Lab of Archaeometry and Experimental Archaeology, New Bulgarian University, Sofia; Balkan Heritage Foundation affiliate. INTRODUCTION During the seventh millennium BCE, the Balkan Peninsula was a gateway through which farming, animal husbandry and generally Neolithisation spread from Anatolia and the Near East to Europe. Central parts of the Balkans (including the Struma river valley) were among the most important migration routes during that period. Among the six Early Neolithic settlements mapped in the small Middle Struma Valley is the site of Ilindentsi. The site is located on a high terrace at 250-253 m above sea-level just at the foot of the Pirin Mountains - the third-highest mountain range on the Balkans. The site – with vertical and horizontal stratigraphy – covers an area of almost three hectares, where the prehistoric cultural layer lies immediately under the top soil (10 to 20 cm). During previous archaeological excavations (2004-2009 and 2011-2017) were unearthed remains of Early and Middle Neolithic (6000 – 5500 BCE) settlement structures and features. Among them are several dwellings, one with stone foundations, and another with elaborate floor construction and under-floor drainage systems.
