“The [posthumous mutilations] are specific burial practices whose goal to protect the deceased from evil forces,” Dukov explains, adding,

“We have detected several types of burial facilities. We have also encountered many secondary burials.”

Dukov and his colleague Rositsa Markova have recently presented to the public some of the artifacts that they discovered during their excavations over the past few months at the Upper Voden Fortress and at another medieval fortress nearby, Asen’s Fortres, both of which are located near Asenovgrad.

In the same media interview in which he announced the discovery of the newly found medieval necropolis dating to the 12th-13th century AD, i.e. the late years of Byzantium’s occupation of medieval Bulgaria (1018-1185 AD) and the early years of the Second Bulgarian Empire (1185-1396 AD), the Director of the Asenovgrad History Museum has provided more information on the recently announced discovery of three medieval lead seals.
