May/June 2009 Science Illustrated magazine - page 20
This page was sent to me by my Father.
He sent me this from a sample copy that was sent to him.
In short - 'An 1800 - year old pair of finely wrought gold earrings... -
Thracian civilization which may have been rivals to the Greeks.
A bronze ring and these elegant - even today - earrings were found by
Georgi Kitov, A
Bulgarian archaeologist - passed away in September - in a burial mound
near the town
of Krushare - 185 miles East of Sofia, the capitol city.
They are Scallops - winged - and at the opening end a ring holding a
pendant.
I checked scienceillustrated.com and they don't have issues displayed.
The magazine is text with pictures - these pictures - not a Science
Journal by any
stretch.
But if the artifacts stand up to testing and I suspect they are well
documented,
there might form a new date for shell adornment made by man. The ring
was dated 700 years older than the earrings.
