Ancient depot and water depository were revealed by archaeologists in the ancient Thracian city of Perperikon (Rhodopes).
This was reported by the chief of the expedition professor Nikolai Ovcharov. The water depository is situated on the very same top of Perperikon.
The reservoir is 12 m long, per 6 m wide and deep; it used to gather round 270 c m water.
Professor Ovcharov and his colleagues found also 4 completely preserved jars with 160-200 l capacity. Probably the jars had been used for preserving of wine, believes the archaeologist.
