VARNA, BULGARIA—Archaeology in Bulgaria reports that the skeleton of a tall man was unearthed during rescue excavations near the St. Nikolay Church in Varna by archaeologists from the Varna Museum of Archaeology. Part of the skeleton, dated to the late fourth century or early fifth century A.D., is located beneath the fortress wall of the ancient city of Odessos. The man may have died in an accident during the construction of the ancient wall, and his remains laid in the deep pit, which was dug as a construction ditch for the foundation of the wall. “It is possible that someone used the pit, which had been dug up [for construction purposes], to bury the body,” said lead archaeologist Valeri Yotov.
