Evidence of human habitation in the area of Bulgaria dates from sometime within the Middle Paleolithic Period. Agricultural communities, though, appeared in the Neolithic Period, and in the Bronze Age the lands were inhabited by Thracian tribes. The Thracians were eventually expelled or absorbed by Greek, Persian, and Roman colonies, but traces of their culture remain in their monuments devoted to horse worship and in the kuker tradition that still survives in southwestern Bulgaria.
