Beskrivelse

The project will contribute to the immediate conservation of the archaeological structures of the Early Christian basilica. The works will be carried out in two groups at two separate locations on the site. The first group will work on the synthronon and the second group will work on the base of the chancel screen at the altar. During the project the volunteers will have the opportunity to alternate between the two locations.
The volunteers will be engaged in all levels of the conservation process. During the first week, both groups will be engaged in planning a conservation strategy by recording archaeological structures, surveying architectural elements, and mapping damaged areas. During the second week, both groups will be engaged in implementing the conservation strategy from the previous week. The work will consist of various hands-on tasks such as cleaning and applying repair techniques. At the end, the project will close with activities related to the promotion of the cultural heritage of Palmatis and compiling a documentation report.
Every stage of the project will be preceded by a short theory introduction by the work instructors, who are well-known experts in the field.
The educational part of the project will not only provide knowledge about the cultural heritage from the Late Antiquity, but also will provide the opportunity for the volunteers to become acquainted to the region of Dobrudga. It will include a hike to the canyon of the river Suha Reka and a guided tour of the picturesque rock-hewn monasteries nearby. During the project the volunteers will be living in an original Dobrudga village and will get to know the local community who are ancestors of the Crimean Tatars. The Crimean Tatars are a minority which settled on Bulgarian lands in the 18th and 19th centuries and have managed to preserve their traditions and identity.
