Exploitation of wild animal resources on the Limes in Upper Moesia
Abstract
In this paper will be offered an overview of antler production and use on the borders in
Upper Moesia province. In Singidunum, on the location of the Castrum, an antler workshop
was discovered, with large quantities of antler segments with traces of manufacture. In the Iron
Gates region, antler artefacts were discovered at several fortifications, and the typological repertoire included awls, needles, spindle whorls, etc. Particularly numerous are combs (pecten),
discovered at several sites, including Saldum, Diana, Novae, and Pontes, and mainly originating
from the Late Antiquity period.
