In 2005, a framework agreement for academic cooperation was signed between the National Archaeological Institute at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the Römisch-Germanischen Zentralmuseum Mainz, Forschungsinstitut fur Archäologie. The agreement was aimed at studies on the problems of the Early Middle Ages and on the Preslav Treasure in particular. As a result, the artefacts from the hoard were taken fo the RGZM laboratory for conservation and restoration. A complete technological analysis of all artefacts was made. The final results of the cooperation envisaged the comprehensive study of the treasure. The present book is my contribution to the project.
The present work has several main objectives:
- publication of the earrings as an overall assemblage, in which all items are subjected to planned analysis;
- complete research history of the earrings from the Preslav Treasure, accompanied with notes on the study of the Medieval earrings related to the Byzantine cultural milieu between the 9th and the 11th century
- creating a classification based on the applied technologies, jewellery analysis of their structure and morphology, as well as composition analysis of the figures and colouring of the enamels, analysis of the iconography related to mythological and historical themes, and their use as regalia and insignia. Each earring is considered in the context of the Middle Byzantine jewellery art when defining the chronology and workshop of production
- clarifying the significance of the earrings in the Preslav Treasure: the earrings as part of the problem of the chronological integrity of the assemblage and its personal-historical identification.
