Abstract:
Uses a large assortment of skulls and skeletons of recent wild boar (Sus scrofa) from across the world to collect tooth and bone measurements that can be compared to those from archaeological specimens. A number of geographic trends are identified in the variation of S. scrofa across its range, mainly concerning the differentiation of insular forms, and the existence of South'“North and West'“East clines. A comparison with ancient material emphasises the existence of similarities as well as differences between modern and ancient populations. Although some of the geographic trends identified on the basis of the analysis of modern material seem to date back to early Holocene times, the morphological history of the species appears to be complex, and in more than one area fluctuations in body size seem to have occurred.
