- Sofia (Bulgaria), Nov 18 (ANI): A team of archaeologists has found over 100 new artifacts, which date back to the early Roman period, at the Gabrevci site in the central part of Macedonia.
According to a report in www.balkantravellers.com , 130 ceramic vessels and deformed bronze objects were discovered during initial excavations, as stated by Trayche Nachev, head of the archaeological team.
The new findings come a month after a ritual funeral coach was discovered at the site, according to media reports.
The area around the village of Konche and the town of Stip is rich in well-researched archaeological sites from different eras.
Several tombs dating to the first century AD and the late Bronze period can be found near Konche, informed the Macedonian Information Agency.
