Tree stone sarcophaguses were found during excavation works in the region of the cooperation market in the centre of Varna city.

 According to the specialists the sarcophaguses can be dated to the 2nd-3rd century after Christ.

Two of the sarcophaguses were found last week, the third- today, in the same area, known as " The Odessa Necropolis". In one of the graves were found clay lamp and cups, and in the other- bronze coin.

One of the graves is positionated north- south, the others- east-west. It is supposed middle-class people were buried in them.
