The Dogs of Roman Vindolanda, Part V
This report focuses on the North Field dog, a nearly complete associated skull and skeleton from Roman Vindolanda. Multiple analyses utilizing different bodyparts, and thorough comparison with other nearly complete skeletons from Vindolanda and with dog remains reported from archaeological sites throughout Roman Europe and west Asia, show that this dog belongs to a hitherto unrecognized morphotype which we name the bocanegra. We present conformat…

The dogs of Roman Vindolanda, Part IV
In this report we investigate the origin and nature of morphological diversity in domestic dogs utilizing a database of over 1,000 recent and ancient canid skulls and skeletons. Integrated skull–skeleton analysis reveals eight functional groups, giving a clear picture of the extent and kind of morphological diversity produced by dog breeders in Europe, North Africa, and western Asia beginning in the Neolithic and intensifying about 2,100 years ag…
The dogs of Roman Vindolanda, Part III
In this report we focus on harriers, small dogs of gracile build widely represented in Roman artwork, yet not previously documented from skull or skeletal material. With them we compare remains of other types of small dogs from Vindolanda and other Roman-era sites. Accurate characterization of small dogs requires differentiation between paedomorphy and juve- nilization in skull ontogeny. We present a new method for quantifying the degree of juven…
The dogs of Roman Vindolanda, Part I
The Roman-era fort-village complex at Vindolanda in northern England, occupied from about A.D. 50 to A.D. 415, has yielded extensive well-preserved remains of the domestic dog, Canis familiaris. Herein, utilizing a novel combination of biostatistical techniques to identify parameters that best differentiate canids, we test the hypothesis that the inhabitants of Vindolanda selectively bred dogs. We also differentiate dog remains from wolves and fo…
The dogs of Roman Vindolanda, Part II
The Roman fort-village complex at Vindolanda in northern England has yielded extensive well-preserved remains of domestic dogs, Canis familiaris. Herein, we pose the questions—did the Romans breed for distinctive dog morphotypes, or were dogs breeding panmictically; and if dogs were bred, was it for functionality. We address these questions utilizing remains that are correlated to age and context; morphometric analysis; dental wear stage; bone pa…

Predation by squirrel monkeys and double‐toothed kites on tent‐making bats
Central American squirrel monkeys ( Saimiri oerstedi ) appear to recognize the modified leaves that phyllostomid bats utilize for diurnal roost sites. The monkeys visually and manually search these bat tents for both bats and insects. Adult males are the most successful at capturing bats. Nonvolant juvenile bats are more vulnerable to monkey predation than are adults. Bats that escape monkey predation frequently are captured by doubletoothed kite…
