A drone view of a mound where a prehistoric settlement and the first European processed gold was discovered in September near the town of Provadia, Varna region, some 450 km from the capital Sofia, 19, November, Thursday. The first European processed gold was found in this settlement near Provadia, Varna region. It is at least 6,300 years old and has been discovered by archaeologists excavating of a pre historic salt extracting center in the town, the Solnitsata (i.e. The Salt Pit), which has been dubbed Europe's oldest prehistoric town, located near the northeastern Bulgarian town of Provadia. The sophisticated gold jewel has been found by the team of archaeologist Prof. Vasil Nikolov from the National Institute and Museum of Archaeology. The gold jewel from the Solnitsata weighs about 2 grams, and appears to be made of 23 24 carat gold. It is unclear whether the gold jewel found near Bulgaria's Provadiya was worn by a woman or by a man, in order to signify his high social status. This is the first time we have found gold here. But we also have hundreds of other new finds, says Prof. Nikolov. The necropolis of the The Salt Pit prehistoric town is dated to around 4,300 BC, i.e. the Late Chalcolithic Period, but Nikolov believes the gold could be 200-300 years older.
