Kozareva mogila. The Eneolithic Necropolis

Excavations 2005 - 2018. The graves presented in the book are part of an Eneolithic necropolis located in the Black Sea region of Thrace. So far, this is the first and only necropolis south of the Balkan mountains that can be linked to the first population to use copper metallurgy in the Balkans. Its exploration is not complete. These are the results of eight seasons of excavating: in total 37 graves from the Early and Late Eneolithic. Although the investigation is ongoing, we decided to publish the information collected thus far, because it is of interest with its new and practically unique data on the funeral rites from this region.
