Archaeological work at the "Malkoto Kale" fortress in southeastern Bulgaria have been going on for more than 10 years, but it was this season when more specific information about it was found.
Speaking to the Bulgarian National Radio, the director of the Regional Museum of History in Yambol, Stefan Bakardzhiev, said that the first fortress and the fortification system date back to the middle of the 11th century. The latest find of 6 Byzantine coins, minted during the reign of Emperor Constantine the Ninth, helped with finding the date of construction.
The fortress was used as the residence of a high-ranking Byzantine dignitary, as evidenced by luxury pottery and oyster shells discovered there.
