These two volumes consist of forty nine papers from two international archaeological meetings in Bulgaria in 2001 and 2002, including recent research and trends in analysing symbolic systems in southeast Europe. Examining material from the Neolithic to Iron Age, contributors discuss and analyse evidence relating to settlement patterns, ceramics, metal objects and burial practices, and how these reflect different symbolic systems and forms of cultural interaction and continuity. Eight of the papers look in particular at the first millennium BC Starosel temple-tomb found in 2000 and its significance for the nature and development of Thracian culture.

'Western-Pontic Culture Ambience and Pattern: In Memory of Eugen Comsa' is dedicated to the memory of Eugen Comsa, an archaeologist whose work created the foundation of the Northern Balkan prehistory and was essential for the contemporary view of the prehistory of the North-western Pontic region. This edited volume brings together researchers in the field of Circumpontic archaeology from the Neolithic to the Iron Age period. The content of the volume is offered to students and scholars who seek a deeper understanding of the prehistory of the Western Pontic region, in particular the Balkans in their Eurasian context and more broadly to enhance the scholarly collections of academic, educational, public and private libraries throughout the world.

This volume offers a detailed report on the plant remains along with a full treatment of craft and technology: artifacts of adornment; tools of bone and flaked stone; artifacts and tools of bone and ground and polished stone (and petrology); tools of the spinner, weaver and mat maker; pottery technology; metallurgy; and special clay finds such as seals, miniatures, and utensils. This rich presentation offers unparalleled insights into the life of the prehistoric inhabitants of the area. Sitagroi now becomes one of the most comprehensively published sites from prehistoric Europe and will be indispensable for all those concerned with European prehistory.
