The external link tells less than the article itself. Delete? --Yak 16:30, Mar 16, 2004 (UTC)
I'm rather doubtful about the claim that the Bulgarian word for a tell is 'mogila'. In Russian (closely related) it simply means 'grave'. --Smack 21:55, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)
If you look in a dictionary, it will tell you that mogila is hill or barrow, and of course it is used for barrows as well. You got archaeological sites that are called Mogila, sometimes differentiated as ????????? ??????, selischtschata mogila, like Karanovo (????????? ?????? ?? ?. ????????). The word tell' is used as well (Tell' Poljanitza), but mainly by archaeologists. Sorry, don't know how to get Bulgarian on this page, you can find examples on http://www.clio.uni-sofia.bg/spec/archeo/arheo_404.html, for example. What is Tell in Russian, by the way? --Yak 19:10, Mar 30, 2004 (UTC)
