Multifaceted analysis reveals diet and kinship of Late Pleistocene ‘Tumat Puppies’
Distinguishing early domesticates from their wild progenitors presents a significant obstacle for understanding human-mediated effects in the past. The origin of dogs is particularly controversial because potential early dog remains often lack corroborating evidence that can provide secure links between proposed dog remains and human activity. The Tumat Puppies, two permafrost-preserved Late Pleistocene canids, have been hypothesized to have been…
Species Identification of Inuit Skin and Fur Clothing: Analyses of DNA, Hair Microscopy, and Macroscopical Identification
From approximately 1830 to 1940, through various expeditions to Siberia, Arctic North America, and Greenland, and through donations, the National Museum of Denmark acquired its collection of historical Inuit skin clothing. Unfortunately, original provenance information has been lost for 14% of the garments. In order to document the extensive collection, this study investigates three methods for species identification of animal skin: microscopy of…
New finds of European bison identified through the systematic DNA-based species identification of archaeological remains of large bovines from Scandinavia
It is clear from the subfossil record that aurochs (Bos primigenius) and European bison (Bison bonasus) coexisted in southern Scandinavia during the late Pleistocene and early Holocene. However, the two species are unevenly represented, especially in zooarchaeological assemblages where the aurochs is the only identified bovine. By applying genetic taxonomic assignment from mitochondrial and shallow whole-genome shotgun data from prehistoric bovin…
Wolf-dogs in Greenland. Interbreeding of Greenland Sled Dogs and Arctic Wolves (Research Note)
This study explores the purposeful interbreeding of Greenland sled dogs and Arctic wolves in Avanersuaq, North Greenland. The paper is based on qualitative data gathered during extensive interviews using North Greenlandic/Polar Inuit dialects and Kalaallisut in North and West Greenland and from relevant literature on the relationships between dog sled driver, sled dog, and Arctic wolf, including genetic studies of Greenland sled dogs. The intent …
Archives of human-dog relationships: Genetic and stable isotope analysis of Arctic fur clothing
Among Indigenous populations of the Arctic, domestic dogs (Canislupus familiaris) were social actors aiding in traction and subsistence activities. Less commonly, dogs fulfilled a fur-bearing role in both the North American and Siberian Arctic. Examples of garments featuring dog skins were collected during the 19th-20th centuries and are now curated by the National Museum of Denmark. We sequenced the mitochondrial genomes of macroscopically ident…
Ancient DNA analysis of Scandinavian medieval drinking horns and the horn of the last aurochs bull
Unmatched DNA preservation prove arctic hare and sheep wool in Norse Greenlandic textile from “The Farm Beneath the Sand”
Sex determination of baleen whale artefacts: Implications for ancient DNA use in zooarchaeology
The Draft Genome of Extinct European Aurochs and its Implications for De-Extinction
Whether as a cave painting, a mounted skeleton in a museum, or as described in ancient texts, the extinct aurochs has long mesmerized humans. In the context of genetics, aurochs have been targeted since the early days of the establishment of ancient DNA techniques, and for two decades analyses of its mitochondrial genome have considerably deepened our knowledge of this animal. These studies have produced major discoveries, such as how cattle were…
Ancient DNA unravels the truth behind the controversial GUS Greenlandic Norse fur samples: The bison was a horse, and the muskox and bears were goats
Minimally destructive DNA extraction from archaeological artefacts made from whale baleen
