A National History Museum (NHM) archaeological expedition has discovered a tomb near the Bulgarian coastal town of Sozopol, NHM said on August 7, according to Bulgarian news agency BTA.

A bowl with a Greek inscription was discovered by the team, which is headed by Krustina Panayotova of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS).

It is assumed that this object, along with others,
was buried along
with the deceased.

The finds have been taken by NHM Director Bozhidar Dimitrov to the NHM laboratory for conservation and restoration. The inscription, once deciphered, is expected to lend new insight into the Ancient Greek city-state of Apollonia Ponti
ca, on the current site of Sozopol.
