The
Old Stone Age and the Middle Stone Age / The Paleolithic
and the Mesolithic Age/
Represented are flint artifacts from the period of the Middle
Paleolithic /from about 100 000 years ago/ found precipitated
in the industrial zone of the town of Devnja. These are
the earliest traces of human life in the Varna region.
Remnants of human life from the same epoch have been evidenced
in a cave to the North of Beloslav station.
The finds from the Mesolithic age /10th –8th Millennium
BC/ are the only evidence for the presence of human life
at that time in the territory of nowadays Bulgaria. They have
been found in the sands at Pobiti
Kamani Area about 15 km to the West of Varna.
For their finding and collecting tribute should be paid to the
Varna Museum collaborator Mr. Ara Margos /1924 – 1990/.
In the course of 25 years he has gathered above 12 000 Mesolithic
tools and splints. This, in fact, is the biggest collection
of Mesolithic finds in the Southeastern Europe. |
