Христов Иван/Hristov Ivan. Тайните на нос Емине: Археологически проучвания в землището на село Емона, Община Несебър/The Secrets of Cape Emine: Archaeological research in the land of the Emona village, Municipality of Nesebar

Фабер, 2020. — 193 с.Настоящата книга на проф. д-р Иван Христов предлага анализ на запазените писмени сведения за историята на село Емона и подробно описание на резултатите от проучването на късноантичната и средновековна крепост разположена на черноморския нос Емине. Освен своеoбразния отчет на секретната експедиция на Националния исторически музей автора описва слабо познати археологически обекти в Еминската планина и крайбрежието между градовете Несебър и Обзор.
Книгата притежава богат снимков и картен материал, както и важно приложение на д-р Стефан Велев, в което се анализират пагубните геологически процеси, довели до изчезването на голяма част от морския нос и неговите старини през столетията.Emphasis is placed on the description of all localized archaeological monuments in the land of the village of Emona and the contact area with other settlements near the Black Sea coast. With this study the author has tried to fill the so-called "white spot" in the archaeological map of part of the Western Pontus - the area between Sveti Vlas in the east-northeast to Cape Kochan - Herculente Fortress and from the Black Sea coast north to the road route. through the Pomorie Pass (Emen Pass). By the term "white spot" the author means a territory that has remained poorly and unsystematically studied by archaeologists and historians. The lack of systematic research is evident in the periods of long ignorance of the territory by researchers, given the presence of an active military zone in the village of Emona, relatively difficult terrain for crawling and the impossibility of conducting archaeological excavations at Cape Emine until spring 2019. The publication analyzes the mechanisms and causes of area loss in the area of ​​Cape Emine as a result of processes of gravitational deformation. The analysis was performed by Dr. Stefan Velev - Scientific Secretary of the Bulgarian Antarctic Institute. The summarized information fits into the strategy for an interdisciplinary approach in revealing the many mysteries that the area of ​​the village of Emona offers to researchers of different specialties. The director of the Regional Historical Museum - Burgas, Dr. Milen Nikolov, also participates in the research of the area around Emona and Cape Emine.
