In 1925, during some farm works a necropolis hill was discovered near the village of Douvanlii, in the Plovdiv area. The treasure found in the tomb dates back to the 5th century BC. One part of it was moved to the Plovdiv Museum of Archeology and the other part relocated to the Sofia Museum of Archeology.
Soon after the discovery, nearby hills underwent exploration as well. A grave from the 5th century BC was found in one of the hills. Archeologists found there a fine gold necklace.
Expensive objects like golden breastplate and a noble’s cup were discovered in another hill.
