-Recently I have been very interested in learning more about the Thracians. I was wondering if anybody could point me to any good reference books. Thanks!

Thanks, akritas, really interesting book!
Here are some more about thacian language
And Thracian culture
 
The only thing is that big part of articles in this resource is in Bulgarian but you may find much stuff in English too
 
 
And, of course, visit Bulgarian and Greek Rodopi to feel the reall Thracian magic Smile

Thank you Anton.The book is available in questia.com(by pay of course)!!!
 
If the BMC2113 is knower of the Greek language I suggest also the book
History of the Thrace,1932. A book that gather all the  texts and quotes that mentioned from the ancient writers as about the Thrace.Very informative  book.Unfortunely only in the Greek language!!!

What I also usually do is -- I open scholar.google.com and type keyword. And get scientific papers on the topic. Simple example
 
 
The only problem is that I cannot have acces to most of resources at home, like JSTOR for example. So, I do it from the the university. But I something is really interesting it could be found in the library. Of course, this could be used not only for Thracians but any other scientific topic.

Perperikon? Oh, I love it! Although it's not so recently discovered. I was there around two years ago, but I've gotta go again! Wink
Btw, I found today one pretty nice gallery with pictures from the exhibition of "The Thracian treasures" in the National History Museum this year. I've been there myself, but still the pictures are nice!
