Abstract
The authors present an analysis of the bone material obtained during the excavations of the Polish-Ukrainian archaeological mission in Olbia in 2016–2018. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the chronologically homogeneous deposit of about 6,000 bones, which are mostly raw materials or semi-finished products and rarely the final products for a workshop producing bone tools. This analysis allows for the determination of the meat part of the diet of Olbia inhabitants at the turn of the 4th and 5th centuries, as well as assumptions related to the climate prevailing in Olbia at that time.
