Late Bronze Age Pottery from the Site of Vratitsa, Eastern Bulgaria: Definition, Chronology and its Aegean affinities.by Rositsa Hristova(18 March 2011)The vessels from Vratitsa were produced in two techniques: hand-made and on a quick potter’s wheel. The latter are considered to be imports because of the nature of the Thracian LBA ceramic production.

Çukuriçi Höyük. A New Excavation Project in the Eastern Aegeanby Barbara Horejs(4 February 2008)The aim of this project is to undertake the first systematic scientific research on the prehistory of the Ephesos region. It is precisely the geographical location of Ephesos, in an area with rivers serving as means of communication into the hinterland and with a connection to the Aegean through its coastal location, which presents an immense research potential regarding questions concerning its development in prehistoric times. Furthermore, questions about its cultural and topographical origins are also significant for the micro-region of the area and constitute an important contribution to the understanding of the diachronic development of a settlement from the prehistoric epoch up to modern times.
