I was honoured to be mentioned in a recent publication by the renowned Bulgarian archaeozoologist, Zlatozar Boev, who works at the National Museum of Natural History in Sofia, Bulgaria. Details of the publication are as follows:<\/p>\n

Boev, Z. 2025. History of the Archaeozoology in Bulgaria\u2014Fields, Researchers and Achievements for 120 Years. Quaternary<\/em> 8: 73 . https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/quat8040073<\/a><\/p>\n

The article mentions the following contributions by myself and colleagues:<\/p>\n

Although extremely rare, archaeomalacological studies in Bulgaria have also been conducted by foreign archaeozoologists. The mollusks at Nicopolis ad Istrum have been studied in detail by Beech, M. The Mollusca. In\u00a0Nicopolis ad Istrum. A Late Roman and Early Byzantine City. The Finds and the Biological Remains<\/i>; Poulter, A.G., Ed.; Oxbow Books; The Society of Antiquaries of London: London, UK, 2007; pp. 293\u2013297+307\u2013318. ISBN 978-184217-182-0 1-84217-182-8. ISSN 0953-7163.<\/p>\n

Twenty-one freshwater and marine species of fish from the ancient town of Nicopolis-ad-Istrum (CN Bulgaria) have been found by Beech, M.J. and Irving, B. The fish remains. In Nicopolis ad Istrum. A Late Roman and Early Byzantine City. The Finds and the Biological Remains<\/i>; Poulter, A.G., Ed.; Oxbow Books; The Society of Antiquaries of London: London, UK, 2007; pp. 224\u2013241+307\u2013318:\u00a0 Without exaggeration, we can consider that study, although by foreign researchers, is the first archaeoichthylogical study in Bulgaria.<\/p>\n

The mammalian remains from Nicopolis-ad-Istrum have also been subject to detailed study:<\/p>\n
