Exhibited are materials from the early Eneolithic
Age acquired as a result of investigations during the last 30-40
years. Typical for the Varna region is the small quantity
of villages from the period of the New Stone Age /The Neolithic/
- 7th –6th Millennium BC.
The research
work carried out till present points to the fact that life
around Varna and the lakes strongly activated only in the
period of the Stone – Copper age. This becomes obvious mainly
from the findings from the studied early Eneolithic villages
by the town of Souvorovo /about 30 km to the Northwest
of Varna/ and by the villages of Sava and Goljamo Delchevo
/now under the waters of the Tsonevo dam lake/.

Various in form ceramic vessels decorated
with engraved lines and encrusted geometric figures or with rich
graphite ornamentation make evident the artistry of the ancient
potters. Patterns of idol plastics – all kinds of human and animal
figures - testify to the development of religious notions and beliefs
of the prehistoric man.
In a big showcase next to the entrance of
the hall are exhibited the finds from graves excavated in the Western
part of Varna – various ceramic vessels with engraved geometric
ornamentation, fine stone and bone tools, decorations made of shells
of Mediterranean mollusks.
