genuine. whether authentic or not, each piece is a clue to the growth of the early church using carbondating and dna technique. the vast majority of the material, the relics will be tested and probably not going to fall into the period which historically we would expect. this is the first step in the big project in which we are looking at other similar relics, and getting data from them and find more about who these people were and where they came from. the ambitious project to draw the historical map across europe begins in bulgaria in 2010 with an excavation that makes headlines around the world. buried beneath the ruins
