Archaeological dog remains from many areas clearly show that these animals suffered tooth fractures, loss, trauma, and dental defects during their lives. Relatively little research has explored the meanings of patterns, particularly for ancient small-scale societies North. One limiting issue is lack comparative data on health experiences trauma among northern wolves dogs. This paper examines fracture, enamel hypoplasia, cranial in a large sample historic wolf North America Northern Russia....
Abstract A 350 14 C yr discrepancy was found between dates on postcranial remains and mandibular teeth what thought to be the same individual from Early Neolithic cemetery of Shamanka II, Lake Baikal. Stable nitrogen isotope results suggested a major shift in diet childhood (when formed) adulthood (represented by postcrania), which could have resulted different ages through freshwater reservoir effect. Subsequent additional dating mandible elements, however, indicated that actually belonged...
Abstract The rise of zoonotic diseases in prehistory is often associated with the Neolithic agricultural transition 1,2 . In particular, plague has been linked to population declines Late Europe 3,4 Although amongst most devastating human history, early strains Yersinia pestis, causal agent plague, lack virulence factors required for bubonic form 5 , and their severity remains unclear. Here, we describe oldest reported so far, two phases outbreaks among prehistoric hunter–gatherers Lake...
