History
editDuring the Ottoman Era the village was known as Kalburcular (Καλπουρτζιλάρ). However it was renamed to Koskinia (Κοσκινιά) in 1927.[2] Later in 1961 it was renamed to Anthotopos.[3]
According to the statistics of Bulgarian ethnographer Vasil Kanchov from 1900, 200 inhabitants lived in Kalburcular (Калбуджиларъ) all Muslim Turks.[4]
