In this opinion piece, we explore the archeology of cyber-security embedded in 20th century legacy belief and its artifacts. During the “formative period” of the computer in the last quarter of the 20th century, computers became generally available to a few societies that existed at the time. Archaic documents, such as early advertisements and bills of sale, confirm the spread of these early tools from places of work to domestic spaces. From histories we know that such computers were primarily standalone devices. If connected, modem-mediated access to the early Internet was conducted through telephone lines, which provided a mechanism for sending emails to immediate kin, friends or workgroup members.","PeriodicalId":134300,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Journal of Archaeology & Anthropology","volume":"212 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122670355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

She represent an ancient Thracian heritage in Bulgarian folk culture. The legend find a parallel in the ancient Thracian myth of the north wind Borei. In the form of a dragon, he abducted Princess Oritia from Athens. He made love to her on a cliff in Thrace and made her his wife. The localities associated with this type of Bulgarian folk legends are ancient Thracian rock sanctuaries. This is also the case with the Rusin’s stone near the village of Rusokastro, Burgas region.

Measurements of surface and subsurface magnetic susceptibility and laboratory measurements of hysteretic parameters have shown a magnetic heterogenity of strata resulted from the interaction of two factors: the initial differentiation of the bedrock source material and the high intensity of the sedimentary process that contributed to significant desintegration of bedrock and to easy transporting of the disintegrated products. Because bedrock on the east and west sides of the valley are different, the distribution of magnetic susceptibility over the excavation area is rather complex. Nevertheless, susceptibility anomalies corresponding to ore preparation and ore storage zones could be recognized. Most likely East Hungai site was used during prospecting works and trial iron smelting in promising places, which testifies the remarkable activity of ancient metallurgists on the western shore of Lake Baikal","PeriodicalId":134300,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Journal of Archaeology & Anthropology","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132848970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
