Synopsis:

The first of four films united in the IN SITU series – a sequence about the archeological discoveries made in Bulgaria over the past few years. Exclusively for the film the Laboratory for AMS Analysis in Glasgow dates the death of two prehistoric inhabitants of the Bulgarian lands. How did the analyses of two dental samples reproduce the livelihood of an entire era? What could the salt springs near Provadia and the world’s oldest processed gold near Varna possibly have in common? How does scientific Europe view the prehistoric layer of Bulgarian history? Why does it find it extraordinary, while it remains largely unknown to the world?
