Logboats from the Bulgarian Black Sea coast
Logboats from the Bulgarian Black Sea coast
Little information is available about the role of primitive watercraft in maritime life along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. The only examples are six logboats discovered by chance in Eastern Bulgaria in four different environments: inland marsh, sand strip, coastal lake, and deep sea. Four of the logboats are complete and well preserved, one is in five pieces, one has only the bottom and stern of the hull preserved. One was radiocarbon dated to the Medieval period in the 1970s. Medieval dates for four logboats have now been obtained through radiocarbon analysis. This article presents a short catalogue of the six logboats and discussion of their historical background.

Abstract
Little information is available about the role of primitive watercraft in maritime life along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. The only examples are six logboats discovered by chance in Eastern Bulgaria in four different environments: inland marsh, sand strip, coastal lake, and deep sea. Four of the logboats are complete and well preserved, one is in five pieces, one has only the bottom and stern of the hull preserved. One was radiocarbon dated to the Medieval period in the 1970s. Medieval dates for four logboats have now been obtained through radiocarbon analysis. This article presents a short catalogue of the six logboats and discussion of their historical background.
