Остатки сазана (карпа) в поселениях древнего человека на Украине

Abstract

In excavations of ancient settlements of the Ukraine fish bones were found. They belonged chiefly to big Cyprinus carpio L., Rutilus frisii Nord m., Silurus glanis L. The presence of big bones of some fish species in a great number of burials might evidence for the ritual character of these remains. Abundance of the Cyprinus carpio L. remains permits assuming the ancient and independent character of the Cyprinus carpio L. culture in the Ukraine.
