Özet:

 Linon Linum is an ancient settlement located between Parion and Priapos on the Asiatic shore of the Marmara Sea Propontis. Although little is known about Linon, ancient texts refer to the settlement being a dependency of Parion. This article concerns the Λινούσιοι Κοχλίαι Linusian Snails which are mentioned in ancient texts without a full description regarding them being provided other than that these snails are declared to be delicious and the best in the world. Although it has not been determined whether the Linusian snails are marine or terrestrial snails, this paper utilising information gained from ancient texts, as well as modern archaeological reports and interviews with locals, particularly with local fishermen and attempts to indentify the Linusian Snails. The interviews and site trips taken indicate that there are two possibilities amongst modern snail shells found in the region; namely the Tonna galea and the Rapana venosa. In order to evaluate this information regarding Linon, related information from nearby settlements was also consulted as part of the method employed in this work.

 Linon Linum Marmara Denizinin Propontis Anadolu kıyısında Parion ve Priapos antik kentleri arasında yer alan bir antik yerleşimdir. Her ne kadar Linon hakkındaki bilgiler kısıtlı olsa da, antik metinler Linonun Pariona bağlı bir yerleşim olduğunu ifade etmektedir. Bu makalenin konusunu teşkil eden Λινούσιοι Κοχλίαι Linon Salyangozları antik metinlerde açıklayıcı olmayan bir şekilde, sadece leziz ve dünyanın en iyisi oldukları şeklinde ifade edilmektedir. Linon salyangozlarının, deniz salyangozu veya kara salyangozu oldukları hakkında net bir açıklama bulunmamasına rağmen bu makale kapsamındaki çalışma, antik metinler yanı sıra modern arkeolojik araştırmalara ait rapor ve yayınlarla bölgede yaşayanlar, özellikle yerel balıkçılar, ile yapılan görüşmelerden elde edilen bilgileri birleştirerek Linon salyangozlarının türünü tanımlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Görüşmelerden alınan bilgilerin yanı sıra alanda yapılan gezi ve gözlemler, bölgedeki günümüze ait salyangoz kabukları arasında Tonna galea ve Rapana venosa olmak üzere iki ihtimal ortaya koymaktadır. Tespit edilen ve ortaya konacak bilginin daha detaylı değerlendirilmesini sağlayabilmek için ayrıca çevre kentlerde elde edien bilgilerin de baz alındığı bir çalışma yöntemi benimsenmiştir.
