Archaeology season ends near Bulgaria's Ohoden village
from 18.09.2008 12:02       Author - Tourist Media
The archaeological summer season ended near the Vratsa region village of Ohoden, Focus News Agency reported. Discoveries cast new light on the life of people in northwestern Bulgaria. Archaeologist Georgi Ganetsovski said that the region has never seen careful exploration.

Archaeologists worked on an area of 150 sq m and discovered the remains of two ancient settlements dating back to the sixth millennium BC. Scientists believe that they were set up near a river and both suffered flooding. After the second flood, people decided to settle somewhere else.

Two cult holes were discovered, both still preserving animal bones. The discovery shows that the dog might have been tamed but additional research is needed to confirm the thesis.
