Archaeometric research and reconstruction of a Bronze vessel from Kitova Burial Mound near the village of Krushare, Municipality of Sliven
This work presents the studies related to a bronze vessel, podanipter found in 2009 during rescue excavation of a burial mound near the village of Krushare, Sliven region, later named “Kitova Mogila”. Detailed description of the process of cleaning the soil deposits and corrosion products, conservation and subsequent reconstruction. Thanks to which the original shape of the vessel has been successfully restored, this makes it possible to relate it to already established classification of vessels of this type and period. Based on which a place of origin and date can be proposed. Parallel
to the conservation, an archaeometric study has been conducted using X-ray powder diffraction, metallographic analysis and ICP-AES. All of which provided information on the methods of production, the techniques used by the ancient master and an idea about its last content.

Abstract
This work presents the studies related to a bronze vessel, podanipter found in 2009 during rescue excavation of a burial mound near the village of Krushare, Sliven region, later named “Kitova Mogila”. Detailed description of the process of cleaning the soil deposits and corrosion products, conservation and subsequent reconstruction. Thanks to which the original shape of the vessel has been successfully restored, this makes it possible to relate it to already established classification of vessels of this type and period. Based on which a place of origin and date can be proposed. Parallel
to the conservation, an archaeometric study has been conducted using X-ray powder diffraction, metallographic analysis and ICP-AES. All of which provided information on the methods of production, the techniques used by the ancient master and an idea about its last content.
