I didn’t dream of
becoming an archaeologist. Circumstances which I will
mention below propelled me into this line of activity.
Sometimes I jokingly say that I became an archaeologist
out of poverty, but this joke is very near the truth.
Later archaeology became my profession and the
antiquities of Sofia became my destiny. The first digs
in Sofia where I had to work when I was still working on
a day wage at the Archaeology Museum were at the
excavations for the building of the Communist Party
headquarters - with a capital P of course. This is where
my odyssey as a building site archaeologist began. It
concluded at the other end of the largo, where one of
the central underground stations was built. This
encompassed all of thirty-two years, from 1948 to 1980.
