Summary/Abstract: The archaeological site near today’s village of Ivancha, Veliko Tarnovo province, was registered during a field survey along the Nabucco gas pipeline route. Its research was carried out during the work on the so-called “Balkan Stream”. Nearly ten decares were studied by the methods of archaeology. Traces of a settlement from the Ottoman period (16th – first half of the 17th centuries) were found over the territory of the site. 97 pits, 33 kilns, 5 hearths, over 60 service buildings and dwellings, and 14 Christian graves were explored. A vast amount of pottery fragments, a few faience vessels, animal bones, over 50 coins, and numerous other finds related to the population’s life during this period were found. The village is well-known from the Ottoman tax registers as one of the largest settlements of the Sandjak of Nicopolis.
