Dear Adam,

this paper that discusses dog domestication in Danube Gorges includes raw measurements of mandibles and teeth of Mesolithic/Neolithic dogs and recent wolves from the central Balkans. I will send you pdf in the following mail (offlist).

Dimitrijević, V. and Vuković, S., 2012., Was the Dog Locally Domesticated in the Danube Gorges? Morphometric Study of Dog Cranial Remains From Four Mesolithic–Early Neolithic Archaeological Sites by Comparison With Contemporary Wolves. International Journal of Osteoarchaeology.

Best wishes,

Sonja.

Hi Zooarch,

Does anyone know of raw measurements (after Von den Driesch 1976) that have been published for wolves and wolf-sized dogs? I am interested in cranial and post cranial measurements.

Unfortunately, the repositories near me (within time and budget) do not have wolves or even a useful dog sample. The published data that I have found has only reported measurements as ratios with other measurements or logs. I am hoping to find ranges or means.

Thanks again,
Adam Heinrich
