Dear colleagues!
I am working now with osteological material from Suzdal
region (300 km to the east of Moscow, Russia) and Vologda region (360 km
to the north of Moscow). In material from the Middle Age layers (from 11
to 13 centuries) I found a few black rats remains (mandibles). My question
is: does anybody know anything about rat’s expansion ways in North-East
Europe and in Russia. Perhaps there are any references about this subject?
With great respect
