Senior research officer Dr. Nartis Torbov (Vratsa Historical Museum)
Description
This summer, a team of Bulgarian archaeologists will search for proofs to the thesis that Vratsa was the capital of the Tribali tribe where generations of Thracian rulers lived. The head of the excavations senior research officer Dr. Nartis Torbov is engaged in research on Thracian tribes more then 20 years. He expects to find here a 2,800-year-old settlement. If this hypothesis is proven true, the town will become as famous as Troy or the Valley of Kings.

What Lies Beneath? Native American Tribes of the Boise, Idaho Archaeological Record And a Site in the Boise Foothills Tests have confirmed the dates and the fact that the artifacts, found in the Boise foothills near the Table Rock plateau, came from the same source of obsidian as the Squaw/Timber Butte location, east of Payette and North from Boise. This Squaw/Timber Butte location is known as a major prehistoric source of obsidian glass in eastern Idaho prehistory. ( A re-cap of the original report and research below.)
