To facilitate their categorisation we have organising them by band: North of the Central Balkan, Central Balkan, Middle Mountain, Plovdiv and Rhodope mountains.
There are common characteristics to sites belonging to the same band and common features to many sites across Bulgaria. There are also many commonalities with other megalithic sites worldwide. Categorising the sites by band is a simple way to group them but does not mean that they could not be categorised differently or in sub-groups.
