[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Some archeologists hold that the areas where the dolmens are found, not only Sakar but also the Eastern Rhodopes and Strandzha, were occupied by the Odrisi, a Thracian tribe, agriculturalists (said also to have developed metallurgical skills, hence the precious metals legacy on display in Bulgarian museums) who lived variously in relatively large communal settlements and otherwise in much smaller villages.
