Pasko Kuzman ,most famous archeologist in Macedonia(He have discovered Macedonian artefacts and golden mask in the old Lychnidos today Ohrid changing the map of Macedonia up to area of lake Ohrid previousely regarded for Ilirian culture)have
annaunced new important discovery.
In Ohrid area, on the border beetween Ohrid and village Leskoec
have been found first Brigian settlement and in these days are imediate exavations.Dating of the settlement is from 3500 Years.
Findings are for begining promising,have been found burial area,and a lot of pottery.Found is in the area of hill,and it is posible tomb area.
Brigians have been regarded to be mithical people who have been moved by famous king Midas in Phrigia,where they have given the name of the kingdom and the area.It will be wery interesting to see difference beetween Brigian and phrigian settlement because have been questionable for various reasons.It will be important to see culture of the most old pelasgians and their relations with
other ancient people and specialy with Macedonians.
