supply system — that cut through the entire site from east to west. The excava-
tions started on September 23, 1960 [Majewski 1961, 76].
From the start there were two archaeological teams, Polish and Bulgarian
working at Novae, hence the provisional division of the site into eastem and
western sectors. The eastem one was investigated by the Bulgarians under
D. Dimitrov, the western by Poles under K. Majewski. In the First campaign three
regular trenches I, II and IV, each measuring 20 by 40 m, and three probes —
III, V and VI, were established [Majewski 1961, 77 see notę 3]. In the forty
years that research has been conducted on the site, a total of twelve sectors, or
closed archaeological units, has been investigated extensively. The numbers of
the sectors correspond to the number of the hectare, on which the trench is locat-
ed, originating from a topographical grid that was traced on the site. Although
after many years of work the borders of particular hectares have been crossed,
this traditional method of designating the trenches has been maintained (fig. 3).
Work is currently progressing in five areas:
