Abstract

This paper presents results of malacological of shells from prehistoric Rhodian cave settlements. The bibliographical data and analysis of the shells are based on findings from the excavations at the cave of Ag. Georgios at Kalythies and the cave at Koumelo Archaggelou. The present research seeks to define the significance and use of the shells. It will be shown that the malacological material of the neolithic layers of the caves in Rhodes and Kos enrich our knowledge both about the paleoenviroment and life in the Dodecanese.
