Very pleased to have made a contribution to both papers about ancient dogs just released in Science.
As human groups migrated and settled across Holocene Eurasia, dogs often traveled with them and were sometimes traded among populations, researchers report in Science. The results reveal the integral role these animals played in culture and exchange.

At Nietoperzowa Cave, in Poland, our students are progressing well, working down in 10cm spits into Pleistocene layers. Recent finds include a huge cave bear tooth, as well as cave bear bones and a range of lithic flakes. #prehistory #Palaeolithic #cave

Update from our team in Poland! Trench 3 is continuing at pace. Finds include cave bear teeth, a range of animal bones, pottery and Neolithic flints. The cave was used by hiberbating bears in winter and Upper Palaeolithic humans. #archaeology #Palaeolithic #uniofexeter #Poland
