Abstract
Introduction
Juliet Clutton-Brock
3 - 7
introduction to the volume, presenting a review of the new and old evidence for the history of the domestication of the dog, beginning with a discussion of the dog's place in nature and including theories on single versus multiple origins, the process of domestication, the earliest identified finds of domestic dog, the development of breeds, and living feral dogs as relics of prehistory
Dog evolution: a role for thyroid hormone physiology in domestication changes
Susan J Crockford
11 - 20
the author examines the evolution of the dog from an evolutionary perspective, and presents a model for domestication that does not require humans to have played an active role in the initial stage of the generation of primitive dogs
The contributions of Barbara Lawrence to the study of dogs, with a comprehensive listing of her measurement definitions
Richard H Meadow
35 - 48
paper presenting the cranial and dental measurement definitions used by the zooarchaeologist Barbara Lawrence in her pioneering work on dog domestication and canid systematics, and comparing them to those of von den Driesch
Dogged persistence: the phenomenon of canine skeletal uniformity in Br...
Kate M Clark
163 - 169
the paper examines the question of skeletal uniformity in prehistoric British dogs; in particular it reassesses the trends visible in the later prehistoric, particularly the later Iron Age populations. A number of questions are raised about the apparent uniformity of dogs prior to the Romano-British period, and the paper also discusses whether archaeologists are optimising the data available to us in British archaeological assemblages
Varieties of dog in Roman Britain
Leslie Cram
171 - 180
the paper reviews the evidence for the sizes and varieties of dogs in the Roman period in Britain, with particular reference to that provided by long bone measurements and by footprints made on drying tiles, showing that dog size ranged from small, `toy' dogs to large dogs similar to wolves in size
Breed differences in dog hair
Michael L Ryder
251 - 255
preliminary coat length and hair diameter data are presented for ten breeds of dog. In general larger breeds had greater hair diameters than smaller breeds, and males had greater hair diameters than females. The author suggests that coat variation in archaeological remains could throw light on dog breed origins. Most breeds had skewed hair diameter distribution in which the bulk of hairs were fine (the undercoat) with fewer coarser fibres (the outer hair). In some animals there was a seasonal narrowing of the hair in autumn, indicating a seasonal cycle of growth
Use of the mastoid region of the crania of canids to distinguish wolves, dogs, and wolf/dog hybrids
Bonnie C Yates
269 - 270
paper describing a method devised for distinguishing wolves, dogs and wolf/dog hybrids, based on the shape and development of the mastoid region of the skull
A commentary on dog evolution: regional variation, breed development and hybridis...
Susan J Crockford
295 - 312
some of the issues associated with dog evolution raised in the volume are examined from a broader perspective; in particular, the potential significance of certain morphological similarities among regional populations of prehistoric dogs is discussed, along with the development of distinct breeds. In addition the author addresses the situation resulting from the early prehistoric expansion of the dog into territories occupied by its ancestral species, the grey wolf
Preliminary bibliography on dogs and wolves, stressing their prehistoric and historic occurrence, hybridisation, and domestication
