A new study analyzing animal bones from the ancient Greek colony of Pharos, located in present-day Croatia, is shedding light on agricultural practices over 2,300 years ago. Researchers from the University of Sydney examined remains to understand how early Greek settlers farmed the region. The findings detail the types of livestock raised and how these practices evolved following Roman rule. The analysis indicates distinct differences in animal husbandry between the Greek and Roman periods, suggesting shifts in agricultural priorities and techniques. Specifically, the research provides insights into dietary habits and economic activities of the ancient populations. This archaeological evidence contributes to a broader understanding of ancient agricultural systems and colonial life in the Adriatic region.
