Amulets Discovered in Ancient Bulgarian Capital
Send to Kindle
Two ancient amulets were discovered in Bulgaria's old capital Pliska, archeologists announced.
One of the amulets was made from the tooth of a big bear, while the second one was made from a wolf's tooth. The two findings are dated back to the 9-10th Century.
Archaeologists explained that the bear's tooth was some 9cm long.
The amulet's owner, who was most probably a hunter, has divided it in two pieces and the second piece has been given to someone close to him, archaeologists believe.
The two amulets were found in a mound in the inner city.
