SUMMARY
Fish was always an important nutritional element, trade and health resource in the ancient world. Fishing in the rivers or in the open sea appears as one of the most ancient and important activities since prehistoric times. Abundant prehistoric traces of fishing tools, fish motifs in pre-Greek, Scythian, and Thracian ornaments around the Black Sea shores offer excellent evidence for activities of fishing in the broader Black Sea area although the large scale of activity remained restricted to local necessities. |
