The use of a new calculation method allows scientists to adjust the information about how residents of ancient Greek colonies in Crimea Fed.
It turned out that they often did not use lamb, but beef, and this also said that their health was higher than the head of the archaeological technology lab of the Materials and Materials Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
So far, it is believed that in ancient times in the cities of the Crimea peninsula was founded by the Greeks, the herds were goats and sheep, because their bones were found the most. People more, and the number of cattle is relatively higher, Mr. Kas Kasparov said.
New calculation method
He explained that according to the tradition of the number of agricultural animals calculated by the amount of bone found: sheep, cows, horses and others.
However, returning to the Soviet Union, archaeologist Yuri Aleksevich Krasnov expressed an idea that the cows were cut much less than pigs or sheep, including because there were more meat for a longer time. Calculating the structure of the instrument in a certain period, but for some reason, it is not included in a wide scientific week.
The scientist noted that the same result was obtained when analyzing the same document according to another index formula, proposed about 20 years ago by scientist Moscow Ekaterina Antipina. She also attracted attention to the difference in the weight of meat received from agriculture, and proposed to take this in the calculations of pets. In addition, an analysis of the rest of people living in Greek colonies in ancient times confirmed that there were a lot of meat in their diet.
And here, it is important to understand that archeology, researching these issues, making its conclusions to historians and archeology, providing them with new data for analysis. And, for example, based on our breeding data, we can conclude more. Bosporus.
