The key demographic aspects were analysed for the period between 2001 and 2016 (number and density of rural and urban population, natural and migratory dynamics and age structure). Data was freely provided by the National Institute of Statistics, Bulgaria and collected during field work. Specific features of the demographic resources were shown and the processes of depopulation and suburbanization were explained and localized. Their impact on the settlements in the area under study was analyzed - a large administrative and educational centre, Blagoevgrad town and 25 villages. Results show that the contemporary geodemographic processes and the territorial distribution of population are also features describing other municipalities in Bulgaria. 1. INTRODUCTION 2.

The purpose of the study is to supplement, summarize and analyse data about the distribution and activity of Dolichophis caspius in south-western Bulgaria. The new data about the species were collected from 1991 to 2019 during herpetological surveys. The total number of records until now is 420: 148 of them can be found in previous publications, and 272 are reported for the first time. There are published data about 10 pieces of shed skins, and other 17 are newly registered. All data available indicate, that D. caspius is widespread in the study area. The species spreads northward throughout Zemen Gorge in the Struma River valley, and northward throughout Momina Klisura Gorge in the Mesta River valley. It is the most common snake in these areas (up to 1000-1100 m a.s.l.) where 12 other snake species also occur. D. caspius is active from the third decade of March till the first decade of November. No winter activity of the species has been recorded, despite the active search in December, January and February in some years.

  • A Multiscalar Model for the Strymon Neolithic
    A MULTISCALAR MODEL FOR THE STRYMON NEOLITHIC Presented for the degree of MPhil in Archaeology FEBRUARY 28, 2019 CARDIFF UNIVERSITY Kati Baneva A Multiscalar Model for the Strymon Neolithic Declarations I declare that, except where indicated by specific reference, the work submitted is the result of the candidate’s own investigation and the views expressed are those of the candidate. Candidate Signature: Kati Baneva I declare that no portion of the work presented has been submitted in substance for any other degree or award at this or any other university or place of learning, nor is being submitted concurrently in candidature for any degree or other award. Candidate Signature: Kati Baneva i A Multiscalar Model for the Strymon Neolithic Thesis Summary There are geographic regions in south-eastern Europe which have been continuously overlooked by mainstream Anglophone prehistoric discourse. This had been at the basis of an unavoidably patchy understanding of the mechanism of the European Neolithic as a whole. My work targets the lack in understanding of a little-known area in the Southern Balkans. This thesis is about the Neolithic of the Strymon River which flows from Bulgaria into Greece. Hailed as a highway or incoming neolithization groups, the Neolithic of the river’s catchment is little-known, despite the richness of its material and settlement records. The thesis presents material previously unavailable to English-speaking audiences and an original perspective on the Neolithic of south- eastern Europe. It is a work which aims to avoid the separation of the river’s catchment based on national borders. The analytical model which this work proposes is of a mutliscalar nature, incorporating both temporal and spatial scales, in an attempt at creating a holistic understanding of a prehistoric area.
