Gastropod Shells from Excavations of the “Antic Forum” Complex in the City Of Plovdiv (Bulgaria):

IV-VI Century 

Autores: Ivanov Rumen, Georgiev Dilian G

Resumen

Total of 35 shells were found and identified during the archeological excavations 2012-2014, studied Slavic dwellings-dugouts which reuse earlier structures of the roman forum in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. From both localities shells from 7 species of snails were found. Most of the shells were from two species: Zebrina detrita and Helix philibinensis – total of 28 shells, other were represented by 1-3 specimens per species. The lack of shell materials from Eobania vermiculata supports the theory of later introduction of this species in the city of Plovdiv.
