Ivanov was the archaeologist associated with the cemetery’s early investigation after its accidental discovery in 1972. Archaeologists record locations and relationships, beyond collecting valuable objects. Later dating and analysis refine our picture of Copper Age people. He is distinct from cosmonaut Georgi Ivanov. Directed investigations from 1972 to 1991. Documented burials and finds. Was associated with Varna’s Archaeological Museum. Excavation records allow later researchers to test earlier conclusions.
