Abstract

A complex geophysical research on part of the territory of the Bulgarian settlement near Lake Galanka was a resumption of studying that manufacturing section of the settlement by nondestructive methods following a more than 30-year break. The methods of geoelectric survey (resistivity survey), magnetometry (mapping of the magnetic field gradient with maximum quality), GPR sounding were used. The result of the study was the identification of the industrial complex of multi-chamber furnaces for firing pottery. The use of the aforementioned complex of methods made it possible to record a new production facility with a high degree of detail within the studied part of the Bulgarian fortified settlement. Localization of pottery kilns with non-destructive geophysical methods gives a broad perspective for analyzing the pattern of a medieval settlement with the identification of architectural and industrial structures.
