Over the past 20 archaeological seasons at Provadia-Solnitsata, the remains of a total of 32 prehistoric houses have been registered, some of which are still being studied. One of the richest and most interesting houses discovered so far in the settlement mound is designated as number 17, about which we have already written in previous publications. It dates back to the late Middle Chalcolithic period (4600 BC) and was destroyed in a fire.
