Title: Ethnolocal Features of Traditional Shirts "Sorochkas" in Transcarpathian Hutsul Region of the End XIX — Early XXI Centuries: Openwork Décor
Authors: Olena Kozakevych

Abstract: In the paper local features of traditional shirts "sorochkas" in sets of clothes in Transcarpathian Hutsul region of the end XIX — early XXI centuries are discussed. Openwork items` universal and unique parameters in the context of Hutsul folk clothing in time dimension slice are defined. Special attention is focused to décor, namely lace. Technique and technological methods of manufacturing textile decorations, ways of forming their artistic and stylistic features, local versions of ornaments are studied. Defined that the folk clothing and their décor in north territories (Yasinia, Chorna Tysa, Lazenshchyna, Kvasy, Bilyn) has general characteristics with the clothing of Galician Hutsul region (Voronenko, Vorokhta, Yablunytsia). Shirts` openwork decor in this territory were fragmented: connecting stitches by embroidery or knitting techniques were made. And on the contrary, the clothes of the southern part of the Rakhiv region are more similar to the Slovak and Romanian clothing for the structural elements and décor. Ornaments of this territory mainly consists of phytomorphic motifs (inflorescences, buds, twigs, leaves). Thus, the combination of embroidery, lace, textures and structural details created a unique for the ethnographic Hutsul region, but a widespread and typical for the Ukrainian-Romanian borderland the décor type of traditional female shirts "sorochkas".

Title: Intelligent Tourist Guide – Generating Ambient-Oriented Routes and Digital Classification of Elements of the Cultural and Historical Heritage of Bulgaria
Authors: Kristian Milev, Georgi Kostadinov, Stefan Staynov, Asya Stoyanova–Doycheva

Abstract: One of the areas of application of digital mobile assistants is intelligent transport and tourist guides. Such personalised systems aim to facilitate the increasingly difficult choice of the most appropriate transport option regarding personal preferences and habits, current location and available options in real time. To implement a smart travel guide, it is necessary to develop personalised models that include not only static information about routes and destinations, but also to take into account the personal preferences of the user and dynamically respond to unplanned real world circumstances. In the field of intelligent systems, such variable physical characteristics in time and space (so-called ambient characteristics) have a significant role in the degree of usefulness for the end user. The personal assistant is an integral part of the user experience that helps tourists immerse themselves in the rich history and cultural heritage of Bulgaria. Modern technologies in the field of artificial intelligence allow the tourist to get acquainted with the traditions and folk customs, receiving detailed information about the surrounding objects such as folk costumes, architectural monuments and others.

Title: Digital and Printed Teaching Aids of Kyustendil Regional History Museum Programmes for Children
Authors: Miroslava Taskova

Abstract: It is presented teaching aids in digital and printed form used in non-formal educational programmes of the Regional History Museum, the town of Kyustendil, developed during the implementation of two projects in 2019 and 2020 with the financial support of Ministry of Culture in Bulgaria. They enrich the Museum’s workshops for children, monthly conducted since February 2015, informatively. These are twelve five-minute video presentations and thirteen interactive notebooks of four pages each, A4 paper format, illustrating and bearing information about the thematic fields of the workshops. The training aids aim at presenting to children cultural and historical heritage exhibited in museums in general and in the Kyustendil Museum in particular in a more accessible way – artifacts as a part of culture and art in the past, moments of national history crucial for the historical development of Bulgaria and popular customs preserved in traditional crafts. The topics they present introduce participants with the way of living of people in the past, pass through significant historical events and provide some knowledge about three crafts, which originate from the Stone Age. They are grouped in two programmes – Culture and Art in the Past and History and Traditions. Photoes of about 50 findings from Kyustendil and its region dating from Neolithic till Middle Ages are included in the training aids along with the messages they bear interpreted through the respective story. Photoes visually expressing the historical events and traditional crafts – an object of learning in the programme, are also included.

Title: Wine in the Traditions of the Thracians: Modern Research and Manifestations
Authors: Vesela Vasileva Georgieva

Abstract: The significance of the topics of the Thracian culture and wine production have been conceived and presented over the years through various forms, such as the numerous events, some of which have established practices and traditions over the years. The centuries-old history of the Thracians and the concentration of the numerous monuments of Thracian culture in Bulgaria give grounds for many cultural institutions to include in their cultural calendars events presenting the rich Thracian cultural heritage and modern scientific achievements. No less important is the fact that the monuments of Thracian culture studied over the years and the discoveries made in them, testify to the elegance and unique material culture of the Thracians, whose models are unparalleled in the world cultural heritage. This in turn creates the need for their preservation, socialization and transmission to future generations. This topic covers the interpretation of the specifics and contribution to the presentation of cultural heritage in the context of the National Scientific Expedition Club UNESCO Scientific Seminar "Thracians and Wine", whose main goals, activities and tasks will be presented in detail in this paper.

Title: Conservation and Restoration of Molybdobulls from the Fund of the Archaeological Museum "Veliki Preslav"
Authors: Alexander Gorchev, Dimitar Dimitrov

Abstract: Archaeological Museum "Veliki Preslav" has over 110 years of history. It was founded as part of the Archaeological Society "Ticha" on October 26, 1906 and lasted in this form until 1949. Then the museum was provided with a large building next to the church monument "St.St. Cyril and Methodius", not far from the Preslav Palace. In 1981, the museum was moved in a new purpose-built building, where it still welcomes history lovers from around the world. At the permanent exhibition you can see epigraphic monuments that testify to the spread of literature, as well as examples of artistic crafts, showing the rise of the Bulgarian state. The most striking examples of this are the Preslav golden treasure and objects of the Preslav white clay pottery. More than 35,000 objects are stored in the museum funds, 1700 of which are presented in the exposition hall. The most significant Preslav samples have been included in dozens of international exhibitions, in hundreds of scientific publications, film and media productions. Today Veliki Preslav has its own archeological museum with a magnificent exposition, visited annually by tens of thousands of Bulgarian and foreign tourists. The museum's collections most fully present the phenomenon of the Golden Age and illustrate the place of Simeon's capital as a leading center of Slavic writing, art and art crafts in Southeast Europe in the ninth and tenth centuries.
More than 570 sphragistic monuments are stored in the museum's fund. For most of them there is accurate information about their location, which makes them full sources for Bulgarian history from IX - XI century.
In 1978, a team of archaeologists led by Ivanka Akrabova-Zhandova, exploring the area in the southeastern part of the inner city of Preslav, discovered a building with massive foundations and preserved squares of construction, which plan resembles a pagan temple or shrine. As a result of the excavations, which continued in the following years, more than 500 molybdobulls, 250 lead cores and three molds for their casting have been discovered. These findings testify to the administrative nature of the building, in which not only the correspondence was stored, but it was also sent. Therefore, we are talking about an chancellery that served the local Byzantine strategists. Thanks to the seals found there, we found the names of 17 strategists of Preslav in the period 971-1059. The molybdobulls also present the names of persons who wrote to the local strategist. Almost all social groups in the empire are represented - from the emperor himself to the common spatary.
In 2019, 50 lead seals were included in the exhibition "At the Gates of the Royal Court. Treasures of Veliki Preslav", which was opened at the Archaeological Museum in Sofia. In 2020, the project "Conservation and restoration of molybdobulls from the Strategy in Great Preslav" was completed. This project was implemented by the Archaeological Museum "Veliki Preslav" in partnership with National Archaeological Institute with Museum at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. 100 of the most affected molybdobulls have undergone conservation and restoration.
Restoration activities are a necessary step that must be carried out before the digitalization of the sphragistic fund.

Authors: Evgeni Koev

Abstract: In another terrain research for the examination of the region around the Ivanovo Rock-hewn monasteries, conducted at the end of 2020 and at the beginning of 2021, well-shaped rock-hewn caves and rock niches with a different designation were discovered, which have now been known so far. Among the newly discovered objects, one relatively big rock niche, having different rock-hewn elements adjacent to it, stood out. Those elements complemented the monk dwelling with respect to space and designation. The general layout, the new construction elements enrich the concept about the structure of the monk rock-hewn dwellings in the Polomie. The location of the object, its linkage to the rest of the anthropogenic parts of the region and its characteristic features give us a new idea about the range and structure of the Great monastery "St Archangel Michael" at the Ivanovo village, municipality of Russe.

Title: Presenting and Promoting Cultural Heritage with Digital Media, Marketing Approaches and Methods. Good Examples.
Authors: Mirena Todorova-Ekmekci

Abstract: Making the cultural and historical heritage of countries available and attractive to a broad public, including in a digital way, is a key to making it survive and be acknowledged and well-maintained in time. Researches and practices show that cultural objects, which are digitalized and promoted, are much more known, visited and attract better investments. Digital tools are more and more used – tools like video presentation, 3D models, interactive photos and video with objects, interactive presentations and games, online tours and life events in social media. Especially, after COVID-19 anti-epidemic measures were imposed, such digital and marketing methods of presentation and promotion became a necessity for museums, cultural institutions, events, festivals and other forms of cultural heritage, in order to continue their existence, work and reach to the public. The paper explores good practices and examples and a variety of media and marketing approaches and methods, which can be used for digital presenting and promotion of cultural heritage, historical objects, places and intangible cultural heritage.
