Archaeological dig near Geshaview - part one

Bulgaria is known as the crossing point of Europe and Asia with Greece, Turkey and the Mediterranean coast only 200 miles from the capital Sofia. Steeped in history, connected to ancient civilisations, the Roman and Byzantine empires, today, Bulgaria is left holding priceless art and architecture preserved throughout the centuries.

David Hollands travelled to a location close to Geshaview to meet a group of archaeologists from the New Bulgarian University, Sofia, as they dug for roman remains.



In part two, David discovers more about the dig, gets to hold a freshly unearthed coin from the 4th century and discusses what the archaeologists hope to find and the future of the dig.
