These included the sub-bottom profiler and electrical resistivity methods, which formed the basis for hypotheses on the reconstruction of palaeolandscapes in the area and subsequently for the development of predictive models for potentially suitable locations of prehistoric settlements, for which data had also been obtained from other research.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8241110 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8241110\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;wdt_animation_effect&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" src=\"https:\/\/cua-sozopol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC05793.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-8136\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cua-sozopol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC05793.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cua-sozopol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC05793-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a80d44 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7a80d44\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;wdt_animation_effect&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" src=\"https:\/\/cua-sozopol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC05809.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-8138\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cua-sozopol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC05809.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cua-sozopol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC05809-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Stream The project \u201cSouth Stream\u201d is the first large-scale marine archaeological research initiative in Bulgaria, related to newly constructed infrastructure at sea, and employing a wide range of non-destructive research methods.
