“…The fusion sequence of post-cranial elements is grouped into eleven different age classes (AeK). Comparison of the dentition based age classes assigned to 38 of the wild boar studied here and in an earlier study (Lemoine et al, 2014) shows a close correspondence between dental and fusion based age classes. Although the age at death of these specimens is not known, it is possible to assign age estimates for the fusion based age classes defined here based on the relatively secure age estimates for the dentition based age classes.…”

“…Thirty-eight of the modern specimens examined for this study had crania with dentition that could be used to assign dental age classes as defined in Lemoine et al (2014). Correlations between the age class assignment for specimens based on long bone fusion and those based on dental eruption and wear provides a cross check for both systems.…”

“…Given the strong correlation between the dental age classes defined in our earlier study and the fusion age classes defined here, it is possible to assign age estimates to the fusion based age classes. Column two of Table 2 lists the ten dental age stages and their age estimates from Lemoine et al (2014). The last column of the table lists the corresponding fusion age classes based on the correlation between the dental age and fusion age assignments of the specimens included in this study.…”

“…The first of these (Lemoine et al, 2014) presents a new system for computing dentition based age profiles based on a study of 91 paired mandibles and maxillae of modern Asian wild boar. The present paper focuses on a new system for computing pig epiphyseal fusion age profiles based on the study of the postcrania of 40 Asian wild boar.…”

“…Instead a more profitable way forward would be to consider size as another variable that needs to be added to the mix in trying to sort out the complicated pathways animals take to domestication. Another future avenue of research would be to apply methods for reconstructing age and sex harvest profiles in pigs currently under development (Lemoine et al 2014) to pig assemblages from the region as a means of assessing the evolving relationship between humans and target animal species that lies at the centre of the domestication process (Zeder 2006).…”

AbstractWe continue to contest the claim by Evin et al. that Rosenhof E24 and other Mesolithic pigs were domestic. E24's mixture of 'wild' and 'domestic' traits is best explained as indicating a behaviourally wild boar with some domestic ancestry. The fascinating complexities of this situation should not be downplayed in favour of a simplified, more newsworthy (but probably incorrect) conclusion.

In this paper, we present a zooarchaeological analysis of the Longshan period sites of Taosi and Zhoujiazhuang (ca. 2300–1900 cal. BC) in southern Shanxi Province, China. We compare the faunal record at both sites in terms of the proportions of wild and domestic taxa; the slaughter patterns for the main domesticates; the types of bones used to produce utilitarian and decorative bone artifacts; and the types of bones used for ritual oracle bone divination. Differences in the faunal records at Taosi and Zhoujiazhuang provide insights into the connections between specialization and early urbanism. Our research also provides clues about how sheep and cattle pastoralism was initially adopted in the Yellow River Valley during the late 3rd millennium BC. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
