Abstract:

This article presents the initial results of research of a medieval monastery near town of Varna. The monastery is located in lower part of a landslide on the south slope of Frangensko (Varnensko) Plateau. The research is based on morphometric, sedimentological and grain size (granulometric) analyses. The archaeological site is affected by two inverse processes – transportation of materials from main landslide surface (from north to south) and such as transportation from landslide levee (from south to north). An important conclusion is the existence of one lower level of the monastery complex.
