He is mostly remembered for his excavation of Varna Chalcolithic Necropolis. His achievements as a public figure are, however, not so well known. In the early 1990s, he became one of the founders of European Home („Eвропейски дом“ in Bulgarian) - a civil association of Varna artists, intellectuals and professionals. Ivan Ivanov was also the initiator of the first pilgrimage of an official delegation from Varna to the Zograf Monastery on Mount Athos in 1992. The event was organised to mark the 180th anniversary of the martyrdom of St. Procopius of Varna. For this occasion, Robert Popov, icon painter and restorer at the Varna Museum of History and Art (now the Varna Regional Museum of History), painted an icon of the saint. It was taken to Mount Athos and donated to the Zograf Monastery by an official delegation of pilgrims, led by Metropolitan Cyril of Varna and Veliki Preslav. The delegation also included Ivan Ivanov, Robert Popov and others. This paper presents archival information about the preparation and implementation of the pilgrimage, as well as a description of the journey written by Ivan Ivanov, which is little known to the general public. The manuscript is part of the “Ivan Ivanov” Fund in the scientific archive of the Varna Regional Museum of History.

The sailing route crosses the Black Sea, the Sea of Marmara and some of the Aegean islands. Scientific consultants and crew members of this sailing are the two researchers of the Varna Chalcolithic necropolis. The purpose of this voyage is to explore the possible maritime routes that have made the trade connections between the Aegean Sea and the coasts of ancient Thrace during the prehistoric era. The most characteristic finds proving the existence of such contacts are the various types of articles made of shell from mussels Spondylus. Similar finds have been found in many prehistoric sites along the Black Sea coast and the Danube River. This type of clam is mainly found in the Mediterranean Sea. Author of the preface to this book is Teodor Rokov, from the Varna Archaeological Museum. (In the way of Spondylus. Author: Veselin Venkov. Editor: Ongal, BG, Varna, 2013. Soft cover, pocket format. 78 pages, 12 black-white pictures, 1 map. Bulgarian language. ISBN 978-619-7079-10-4)
