Archaeological Research in the Roman Fort Trimammium (Preliminary report)

  • TITLU în română: Cercetarea arheologică din castrul roman de la Trimammium (Raport preliminar)
  • Subiect: At the end of 2005, within the territory of the Roman fortress Trimammium, near village Mechka, Rousse district, treasure-hunters have discovered some architectural details (fragments) and stone wall from a big building. That imposed the undertaking of a rescue archaeological excavation within this area. The building was investigated completely in the period between years 2006-2008. It is established, that the earliest structures (features) within the investigated area are the five pits and clay soldering wall from the 3rd century AD. Having in mind the discovered things in two of the pits, we must connect them with some rituals of the soldiers from the fortress. In the beginning of the 4th century AD a big building was erected in the investigated area. It was repaired in the middle or second half of the same century (4th century AD). In the first half of the 5th c. AD, within the building a big pit was dug. The last coins, found in it, are from the time of emperor Theodosius I. During the 6th c. AD the building was rebuild and was used until the end of the same century (or until the beginning of the 7th c. AD). After this the building was abandoned and destroyed by an earthquake. The place was located again in the 9-10th c. AD and then above the remains of the antique building was erected medieval house with stone foundations. The last dated materials discovered in the excavated area are from the 13th c. AD.
