  • UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGY at NESEBAR, ANCIENT MESAMBRIA (BLACK SEA), BULGARIA 2018 Director: Dr
    ANNUAL REPORT: UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGY AT NESEBAR, ANCIENT MESAMBRIA (BLACK SEA), BULGARIA 2018 Director: Dr. Nayden Prahov, archaeologist at the National Institute of Archaeology with Museum, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences; Balkan Heritage Foundation Program Director ([email protected]) Students and instructors preparing for the field work The field school took place in Nesebar, Bulgaria (ancient Mesambria) on the Black Sea coast from May 25 to June 21, 2018. This was the first season of the project, which is an initiative of the Balkan Heritage Foundation in partnership with the Institute for Field Research (BHF-IFR Joint Program) and the Bulgarian Centre for Underwater Archaeology. The goal of the field school was to provide experience and training in underwater and maritime archaeology through participation in three ongoing research and conservation projects. The major research project was the investigation of the submerged heritage of Nesebar, ancient Mesambria. The settlement was established by Thracian tribes, but at the end of 6th century Dorian colonizers settled here and founded a Greek colony which grew quickly and became one of the most powerful towns along the western Black Sea Coast in the Classical, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine era, as well as in the Middle Ages and the Ottoman period. Underwater studies in the region of Nesebar began in 1960. Sixteen underwater archaeological seasons were conducted in total (1960-1983 and 2017). During these studies, it was found that significant parts of the ancient town today are below the sea level. Ruins of fortification walls, towers, staircases, gates and other structures from the pre-Roman era, Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, were traced in various sectors around the peninsula.

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.

  • Bourgas District-Pomorie from Tourism Perspective
    BULGARIA- SOUTH -EASTERN REGION- BOURGAS DISTRICT-POMORIE FROM TOURISM PERSPECTIVE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION, BORDERS, SEA PORTS On south the South-Eastern Region borders on the Republic of Turkey by three Cross Border Checking Points: Burgas, Tzarevo and Malko Tarnovo. On east the region is wide open to the Black sea through the 8 ports - Burgas, Ahtopol, Tzarevo, Sozopol, Pomorie, Nesebar, Rosenetz and Ribno Port, BUT two major ports on the Black Sea is Varna and Burgas. Both act as East-West transport corridor gateways of Bulgaria. Port facilities are generally adequate for bulk commodities, but lack facilities for special handling. Rehabilitation of both ports is planned. Bourgas is the second largest port in Bulgaria, and is in close proximity to Serbia, FYROM (Former Yugoslavia Republic of Macedonia), Greece and Turkey. The Bulgarian railways network and the Bulgarian national road system link Bourgas with major industrial inland points of the Balkans. Bourgas offers a large port facility, which can accommodate various ships and is close to a modern commercial airport. The Army has an agreement with the Bulgarian military to use it’s recreation facility located about 20 kilometers from the port, which they use to house task force personnel. Using this port provides the Commander-in-Chief, U.S. European Command, with another choice by providing another access point into the Balkans. Previously, KFOR used two ports for cargo movement supporting its troops in the U.S.-controlled sector of Kosovo—Thessaloniki, Greece and Bremerhaven, Germany. In port of Nessabar yearly are coming in big cruise ships, they make approximately 50 stops in this port per year.
