BAY OF THE BONES AND ST. NAUM
The Bay of Bones is a reconstructed prehistoric densely populated settlement from the XII-VII centuries BC, placed above a platform that held by wooden piles. It is the newly opened water museum, where the remains of an ancient habitat are placed. A diving base and reconstructed fortresses from the Roman Empire from the 2nd century are located in the water.
At this site, at a depth of three to five meters, the remains of 6,000 wooden piles were found which probably relied on a common platform with 20 wooden houses. According to the surveys, the area of the settlement was extended up to 8,500 m2. Given that they were built of trees, reeds and mud, the habitats were susceptible to fires and were frequently renewed, due to the large density of the piles (remains of burnt wood and coal were found). The platform with the mainland was connected with a movable bridge, which during the night was raised for animals and enemies protection.
