Subfossil record of the Bactrian and dromedary camels in Bulgaria includes 11 localities dated from the Antiquity to the Middle Ages (1st–12th century AD). Over 68 osteological finds (MNI=16) of both species/domestic forms are known from the present territory of the country. The majority of them were identified as the Bactrian camel. Nove is the richest locality, containing ca. 82 percent of all bone finds. In 2018 the latest find (a complete mandibula) was excavated in the centre of Sofia City, dated 3rd–4th century.
