Viggen Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Fossilized remains of a fish supper have revealed a hitherto unknown Roman trade route. Genetic analysis shows that 1400-year-old catfish unearthed in an ancient Anatolian city probably came from Egypt. The fossils were found among the mountain-top ruins at Sagalassos, 110 kilometres inland from Turkey's southern Mediterranean coast. Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) are not native this region. more in Nature Magazine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
