Dear colleagues,

 

There's a prehistoric site in Turkish Thrace, on the Aegean coast. Namely Hocacesme. Archaeologists are reporting that they found thousands of shells recovered in pits. The shells appeared to have been sorted in species and sizes. The pits were lined with clay and sealed with clay. I havent seen photos of this find. The project director is interpreting the find as remains of shellfish storage activity. I don't know of any comparatives. If anyone knows of such a phenomenon, I would appreciate a reference or any thoughts about what this find might be.

 

thank you!!!
