THE THIRTY YEARS OF THE EXPLORATION OF NOVAE
(.MOESIA INFERIOR) BY THE INTERNATIONAL INTERDIS-
CIPLINARY ARCHEOLOGICAL EXPEDITION
OF THE ADAM MICKIEWICZ UNIYERSITY IN POZNAŃ
The extensive interdisciplinary archeological exploration of the Roman le-
gionary camp and the late Roman and early Byzantine city of Novae (Sviśtov,
Bułgaria) is conducted pursuant to the long-term intemational agreement con-
cluded between the Adam Mickiewicz University (Uniwersytet im. Adama Mic-
kiewicza, UAM) in Poznań on the one hand and the Institute of Archeology and
the Museum of the Bulgarian Academy of Science in Sofia on the other, current-
ly covering the period up to the year 2005.
Regular excavation work at Novae was started in 1960 by the Archeological
Expedition of the Warsaw University, headed by Prof. Kazimierz Majewski, Ph.D.,
D.Hist. Since the very beginning of the exploration of Novae, Prof. Stefan Par-
nicki-Pudełko, Ph.D., of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań held the
post of deputy head of the Expedition of the Warsaw University. In 1961, the
Expedition of the Institute of Archeology of the Bulgarian Academy of Science,
headed by Member of the Academy Dimitrij Dimitrov joined in the excavation
work at Novae. After the latter scholar ’s death, the work of the Bulgarian mis-
sion was headed during many years by Prof. Marija Cicikova, followed by Alek-
sandra Milćeva, and currently by Dr. Evgenija Genćeva. After Professor Ma-
jewski’s death, the Expedition of the Warsaw University was headed by Prof.
Ludwika Press, Ph.D., D.Hist., and its current head is Piotr Dyczek, Ph.D., D.Hist.
Before the establishment of the Archeological Expedition of the UAM, the
layout of the defensive walls was ascertained in considerable detail, and the de-
fensive to wers and the western gateway were partly unearthed, the latter project
being headed by Prof. S. Parnicki-Pudełko.
In 1970, the Archeological Expedition of the Adam Mickiewicz University
in Poznań began its work at Novae.1 Prof. Stefan Parnicki-Pudełko, Ph.D., orga-
nized it and was its head in the years 1970-1988. He was certainly one of the
most devoted researchers of Novae, a city to which a considerable part of his
scholarly work pertained. Since 1990, the intemational interdisciplinary Archeolo-
gical Expedition of the UAM to Novae has been headed by Dr. Andrzej B. Biernacki.
