Ancient Settlement and cemetery in Pleven District,A multi-component site with separate habitation horizons, although 5th Millennium BC Copper Age settlements have been most thoroughly investigated.
The second of these, Liga 2, had uniformly placed and sized homes. It was destroyed by a sudden fire, leaving intact homes that included copper tools, bowls with spoons inside, and "goddess" figurines.
Later components include a 4000 BC burial site, a 3000 BC Bronze Age settlement, a 9th C BC ritual site with pottery 'killed' before being carefully buried, and a midden from 5-6th C AD.
A webpage from the Centre of World Archaeology describes the site.
