Geophysics Field Camp “Sozopol 2019” UNIVERSITY OF MINING AND GEOLOGY “ST. IVAN RILSKI” The Vromos bay – contamination mapping and monitioring GEOPHYSICS FIELD CAMP “SOZOPOL 2019” After a subsequent processing of these block-models with the Zond-IP program, multiple SUPPORTED BY SEG FOUNDATION AND TGS iterative procedures were performed and the resistivity distribution in the subsurface The Vromos beach is located in Vromos bay, 22 km south of Burgas and 16 km north of Sozopol, just west space along the studied lines is determined. For this purpose, a compound analysis is of town of Chernomorets. It occupies an area of 203 944 sq.m. THE CURRENT PROJECT IS A TRADITIONAL CONTINUATION OF THE MAIN IDEA AND THE ACTIVITIES SET OUT IN FIELD CAMPS ORGANIZED THE LAST FOUR YEARS, NAMELY GEOPHYSICS FIELD CAMP “SOZOPOL 2015” PROJECT, GEOPHYSICS FIELD CAMP performed, taking into consideration the available information about the lithological From 1954 to 1977 the beach is contaminated by copper ore flotation tailings of increased Uranium “SOZOPOL 2016”, GEOPHYSICS FIELD CAMP “SOZOPOL 2017” AND GEOPHYSICS FIELD CAMP “SOZOPOL 2018” PROJECTS. types, the grain-size characteristics, the water levels and the groundwater chemical content. In this period approximately 8 000 000 t waste from the Burgas copper mines was dumped in composition in the studied part of the subsurface area down to a depth of about 20-25 m. the sea. Part of the waste formed a costal layer 1300 m long, 120 m wide and 2–3 m thick. The sand mass THE FIELD CAMP PROJECT STARTED ON 7/8/2019 AND HAD 12 FIELDWORK DAYS BETWEEN 8TH AND 19TH JULY. (black sand) was dominated by magnetite and contained up to 60 wt.% Fe2O3+FeO. The increased specific activity of radionuclides was associated with increased contents of 238U and 226Ra due to the presence of U-minerals in the ore. Numerous research projects in the period from 1979 to 1993 followed Investigations for seawater intrusion in the area of Alepu lagoon by contaminated sands removal from 1991 to 1998 resulted in decrease of total activity (238U, 226Ra, 232Th, 40K) from 74–10 175 Bq/kg in 1979 to 83–400 Bq/kg in 1998. Seawater intrusion into coastal aquifers is causing a progressive salinization of the associated freshwater basins and prevents the sustainable development of historically established ecosystems. These processes are also characteristic for the aquifer horizons developed in the lagoons and the estuaries along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. A typical example of this is the Alepu protected area, part of the Ropotamo complex, declared a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention and Natura 2000 Protected Area BG0001001. The name Alepu comes from Greek (αλεπού) and literally means fox, therefore the landmark is also known as the Swamp of Foxes. Alepu swamp is located about 7 kilometers south of Sozopol, near the old road to Primorsko, immediately after Dyuni Holiday Village, opposite the bay enclosed by St. Agalina cape to the north and Humata cape to the south. HISTOGRAMS OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE MEASURED PHYSICAL VALUES ALONG THE COASTLINE OF VROMOS BAY: BACKGROUND RADIATION (LEFT) AND MAGNETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY (RIGHT) RESISTIVITY MODELS According to the preliminary results of the radiometry and the magnetometry there are no indications for dangerous gamma radiation in the beach area. The values of the ionizing radiation dose do not The electrical resistivity sections along all studied lines are transformed into exceeds the norm and varies between 0.13 and 0.31 µSv/h. The highest values are concentrated in the hydrogeological models of saline water intrusion through key criteria, which determine western part of the beach. That matches the spreading of the highest values measured in the magnetic field and the magnetic susceptibility data values. the degree of salinity of groundwater as a function of the determined resistivity distribution. Data on the specific hydrogeological conditions in the studied area are used, as well as some classification schemes quoted in publications related to the studied problem. GROUND MAGNETIC AND GRAVITY RESULTS FROM A PROFILE LINE ALONG THE SHORE OF THE WESTERN HALF OF THE VROMOS BAY) With purpose of preliminary assessment of the spatial boundaries and salinity level of the coastal aquifer complex, limited geophysical studies were carried out in the area - vertical electrical sounding (VES). Using the results from the initial processing of field measurements in 97 points and applying the Zond-IP computer program, resistivity block- models are developed along the four studied lines. GROUND MAGNETIC AND GRAVITY RESULTS FROM A PROFILE LINE ALONG THE SHORE OF THE WESTERN HALF OF THE VROMOS BAY In order to demonstrate the main techniques behind conducting seismic measurements and processing the seismic data, as well as to show how to work with the used equipment, two seismic profile lines were projected and measured along an old road behind the trees following the southern part of the Vromos Bay shore .

    In the area of Burgas region happen over 40 % of the mass tourism in the country. The region is visited by the greater part of foreign and domestic tourists. It has a common border with Republic of Turkey, which is an important factor in international tourism. Burgas region covers the attractive parts of Eastern Stara planina mountain, the northern mountain-spurs of Strandja, Nature Park “Strandja”, eastern parts of upper Thracian lowland, Burgas lowland etc. It includes the South Blacksea coast on the east, which is most attractive for tourism development. The Region offers a combination of sea-side recreation tourism, route-cognitive, rural, cultural tourism and ecotourism in an area with an extraordinary variety of natural and anthropogenic tourist resources. The geographical location of the region is exceptionally favourable and the transport provision to the main tourist objects of the region is fully covered by the international airport, harbours, rail-way station and road access. The climatic conditions of the Region are determined by its geographical location. In its area several climate influences are combined but the transcontinental climate is mostly marked. The influence of the Black sea and the Mediterranian lands is obvious. The town of Malko Tarnovo is known as a climate health resort of national significance since 1967. All towns and villages on the Black Sea coast are very favourable for climate healing and marinotherapy. St. Vlas is a small health resort town nestled down at the eastern foot of the mountain Stara planina close to the beach. The coast of St. Vlas is developing as the most picturesque Black sea resort of Bulgaria entirely facing to the South, a kind of Bulgarian Riviera beginning with the sea resort Sunny beach including the settlement itself, the holiday complex “Elenite” and ending in Emona cape.

    Treasure of Gold Appliqués for Horse Harness from Primorsko

    СТАТИИ / PAPERS Treasure of gold appliqués for horse harness from Primorsko Petar Balabanov a*, Daniel Pantov b a Department of Archaeology, New Bulgarian University, 21 Montevideo Blvd.,1618 Sofia; [email protected] b Municipal History Museum–Primorsko, 6 Rezvaia Str., 8180 Primorsko; [email protected] * corresponding author ABSTRACT In 2016, rescue archeological excavations of a Thracian burial mound were conducted four kilometers to the north-west from the town of Primorsko in the locality “Silihlyar”. Foundations of a rectangular feature were discovered in the eastern part of the mound. Its walls followed the cardinal directions and were preserved up to 0.55 m in height. During the excavations of this feature, 40 gold appliqués of a horse harness were found under the walls and the floor. They were spread over an area of cca. 2 m². One of them was found in a mortar layer of the floor, while another seven were between the stones of the northern and eastern walls. The central element of the set represents a decorated shield to which an embossed eagle’s head was attached. The clay lamp buried together with the gold appliqués suggests a deposition date of the set in a relatively nar- row chronological range – 333-250 BC. The Treasure of Primorsko is the first fully preserved set of gold decorations for horse harness found to the south of the Balkan Mountains. Further interdisciplinary research is forthcoming. KEYWORDS Burial mound, Primorsko, gold appliqués, Hellenistic Thrace treasures In the autumn of 2016, rescue archaeological excavations of a Thracian burial mound were held four kilometres to the north-west from the town of Primorsko in the locality “Sili- hlyar”.
