Showcase XXVII


The finds from houses of Cherson include not only fishing implements but also shells of molluscs and remains of crustaceans. The examples of these are exhibited in the vitrine as well.

Dredges were used for gathering edible molluscs such as oysters, mussels, and scallops.  One of such artefacts is exhibited in the middle of vitrine. Above the valves of shells, you can see a small bronze spoon; it was used for opening shells and eating molluscs.

Salting fish required a great amount of salt. City dwellers extracted salt not only for their own needs but for sale as well. Cherson salt was exported to Taurica and the Asia Minor.
