Abstract

The Roman site of Yurta-Stroyno was for the first time described in year 1978, then later excavated by a short period rescue excavation in 2006 and 2007. In 2014 a new cooperation on the archaeological excavation started between Regional Historical Museum in Yambol and doctoral students of the Institute of Classical Archaeology of the Charles University in Prague.

The first season of the joined project enclosed foundations of a four-room structure and brought to light many findings including diverse pottery classes, different kinds of metals, glass, worked stones and bones and a spectacular marble head of a small statue.
