Old Orhei

Thank you Paleophilatelie! This s/s is the 'Vacation' issue. Above right and below left shows excavations at Orheiul Vech (Old Orhei), the massive city complex with deposits dating to the Paelolithic. Many forts and monasteries were located here as well. Are they excavating drainage pipes? stacked amphorae? Issued: June 25 2004.
