- Title
BULGARIAN MEGALITHS -- PRESENT STATE AND FUTURE RESEARCH DIRECTIONS.
- Authors
TSONEV, L. V.; KOLEV, D. Z.
- Abstract
A first attempt is made to provide a global picture of the megaliths in Thrace (South East Europe); also the problems related to their dating are explicated. The location and the conventional (indirect) dating of the menhirs and dolmens mainly in Bulgaria, but partially also in Greece and Turkey are summarized. The necessity of direct dating -- preferably by luminescence means -- is discussed. International collaboration is proposed for creating a full and precise picture of the Thracian megaliths within the chronological framework of the pan-European (Mediterranean) megalithic region.
