The last two years were especially good for Thracian Archealogy, many different treasures and tombs were found throughout Bulgaria.
In 2004, everything started when the gold mask of a thracian ruler was found and his burial, that is when I got interested in Thracian culture. In 2005 another Thracian ruler's burial was found, aswell as a really old gold treasure from the times of Troy.
I even had the opportunities to go to a archaeological dig on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast in Sozopol in 2005, although no important finds were made during my stay at the digs.
Here is a good site about Thracian Goldsmiths & a really interesting video about the recent finds from Channel 4.
Enjoy
