How humans got their goats Little is known regarding the location and mode of early domestication animals such as for husbandry. To investigate history goat, Daly et al. sequenced mitochondrial nuclear sequences from ancient specimens ranging hundreds to thousands years in age. Multiple wild populations contributed origin modern during Neolithic. Over time, one type spread became dominant worldwide. However, at whole-genome level, goat are a mix different sources provide evidence multilocus...
Donkeys transformed human history as essential beasts of burden for long-distance movement, especially across semi-arid and upland environments. They remain insufficiently studied despite globally expanding providing key support to low- middle-income communities. To elucidate their domestication history, we constructed a comprehensive genome panel 207 modern 31 ancient donkeys, well 15 wild equids. We found strong phylogeographic structure in donkeys that supports single Africa ~5000 BCE,...
The pronounced growth in livestock populations since the 1950s has altered epidemiological and evolutionary trajectory of their associated pathogens. For example, Marek's disease virus (MDV), which causes lymphoid tumors chickens, experienced a marked increase virulence over past century. Today, MDV infections kill >90% unvaccinated birds, controlling it costs more than US$1 billion annually. By sequencing genomes derived from archeological we demonstrate that been circulating for at least...
Petroglyphs are significant for the study of ancient cultures and economic activities as well their aesthetic qualities an artistic expression. The newly discovered petroglyphic site Jorbat to north plain Jajarm is one largest rock-art complexes Iran. In terms chronological depth, quantity, quality imagery, it richest complex in Northeastern Ranging from late Bronze Age ethnographic period, rock art imagery has close parallels both sites Central plateau Iran Asian steppes. this article, most...
Numerous researchers previously explored the question of origin qanat system on Iranian plateau. In 2008, Iranian-French excavation work carried out site tepe Damghani raised issue evolution water resources in area since Bronze Age. A regional geomorphological survey showed that Plio-Quaternary horst Sabzevar played a significant role providing whole from Age up to now and had developed at Achaemenid period. Indeed, back horst, graben housing an important table its Quaternary alluvium has...
The origin and expansion of the Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC) or Oxus Civilization has long been discussed. This highly developed agricultural urban society was engaged in active contacts with its southern neighbors on Iranian Plateau at end 3rd beginning 2nd millennium BC. paper introduces a newly discovered BMAC grave from Tappe Esgh Plain Bojnord foothills Kopet-Dagh. strong similarities between funerary practices burial-goods Eshgh to those reported zone Central Asia...
Abstract Blue‐white stonepaste wares were an outgrowth of the bursting innovations Near Eastern potters striving to imitate Chinese products during Islamic period. Building on results previous research, this paper seeks increase our knowledge type ceramics by analyzing 16 Qajar period samples from Tepe Naderi in North Khorasan Province, Iran, with stereo microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. It appears that bodies these are characterized high silicon alkali, a...
First season of archaeological excavation at the pre- and proto-historic site Tepe Chalow in northern Khorasan Province, NE Iran, was carried out by a joint Irano-Italian expedition autumn 2011. The team opened 9 trenches core zone plus 28 small testing pits periphery to evaluate accumulation extension layers. Archaeological analysis material data gathered through show influence different cultural areas including Damghan (Hissar I‑II) Gorgan plain (Shah III‑II) south north Alborz Mountain,...
As a result of recent activities Iranian expeditions in Talish, to the southwest Caspian Sea, several graveyards with remarkable Iron Age material has been excavated. Among these, perhaps most interesting is Toul cemetery that produced similar some tombs at Marlik. Based on these similarities and presence bronze bracelet an Urartian inscription cemetery, excavator site concluded both cemeteries are contemporary, belonging entirely 8th - 7th centuries B.C. they highly influenced by art. In...
