There is archaeological evidence of settlement life in the southern part of burgas. Material has been found in the region of the pobeda housing estate (also known as the sladkite kladentsi locality). The stratigraphic position of the possible settlement has not been clarified yet; most probably it spread on a sandbar. Several sectors of the necropolis and amphora deposits have been studied. The material found dates this settlement from the beginning of the 5th century through the 3rd century bc, and the luxury vessels and quantity of amphorae mark its zenith in the 5th-the third quarter of the 4th century bc. The availability of imported pottery gives the settlement the appearance of a trading centre. The discovery of apollonian pottery and coins testify to the privileged status achieved by apollonia in this field.
The attic red-figure pottery found here has a significant place among the material, but only a limited number of items have been published so far, of which two kraters – one of the kleophon painter and the other of the kadmos painter – and a red-figure oinochoe of the modica painter are the most prominent. The rest of the finds, mostly fragments, are presented here for the first time.
