The third article on sealings revealed at Pistiros in Bulgaria in 2012 analysis those linked directly to proper Greek models. Most of the items carry two imprints, apparently signatures of partners of document confirming a contract or deal, the archive of them kept with a “notary”. The archive of contracts was hidden in a vaulted oven to be protected at the time of fire destruction of the emporium at ca. 310 BC. The majority of subjects represented on the sealings discussed here show reflections of popular works of leading sculptors of the age; a smaller part reflects contemporary terracotta and bronze figurines of characters of Middle and Late Comedy and two Egyptiazing subjects might reflect the Ptolemaic domain in Thrace.

The Thracian land was a very attractive place for the ancient Greeks and their economic expansion. At the end of the 5th century BC, the Greek inland emporion, known as Pistiros, was founded on the upper Maritsa River in inner Thrace, today south‑central Bulgaria. More than twenty‑five years of successful international cooperation of archaeology with environmental sciences has revealed the existence of a very important commercial centre with connections in the Thracian and the Aegean regions. The study summarizes the current state of research on the urbanized settlement and the river port. The environmental investigation, including the combined archaeobotanical and chemical analyses of organic residues in ceramics assessed here, as well as geomorphological research, contribute to a better understanding of the socio‑economic development of this unique archaeological site in Thrace.

The article summarizes the discussion concerning the identification of the Adzijska Vodenica site with Emporion Pistiros. It explains why the present authors still consider the identification of both the most probable solution. Alternative explanations were suggested mainly by scholars not knowing the site and its environment personally and its publications only from second hand.

The article publishes two magic gems in private collection reputedly found in South Moravia, according to the personal information by Vilem Hruby, in the area of Stare Mesto in a context of Great Moravia. They both are of Egyptian origin and can be dated to the 3rd - 4th century A.D. One of them represents young Horus, the second with inscription probably mentions Chnoum. The authors mention parallels from Bulgaria, from the context of the activities of Methodius' pupils there.

The paper presents new ideas on interpretation of the Early La Tène art and new studies of Mediterranean imports in central Europe (pottery, bronze vessels and glass) taking into account the context of their creation but also of their deposition (with the probable significance of ‘objects of memory’). Not all the pieces must have been trade goods brought through the Salt route; some may be results of individual events (transaction gifts, dowry in diplomatic marriages, heritage – keimelia). The examples of the Mediterranean technique, crafts and science were more important than the imported objects themselves. The latter are clear proofs of contacts while the imitations and reflexions of Mediterranean models show that these models or ideas were more or less known also in the more distant regions.
