Abstract:
The study focuses on the remains recovered from two key areas: Siniya Church and the Siniya Late Antique Settlement (LAS), which comprise approximately 18,000 bone fragments. The Late Antique Settlement, characterised by the houses of merchants and fishermen, dates back to the 4th–5th centuries CE, while Siniya Church includes the remnants of a Christian monastery from the 7th–8th centuries CE. Archaeoichthyological analysis identified fish from 28 different families consumed by the inhabitants of these two locations, though only a few were predominant. The study explores diachronic patterns in fish consumption and fishing practices at each location, and how these reflect differences in the social status of their respective inhabitants.
