Could incipient dogs have enhanced differential access to resources among Upper Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers in Europe?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The dog is the oldest domesticated species and the only animal that was domesticated during the Pleistocene - before the emergence of agriculture - when human populations were living as hunter-gatherers. Today, owned dogs can assist their owners in various ways. They can function as watchdog, facilitate transport as beasts of burden, aid in hunting, play a ritual role or provide company. In some cultures, they are consumed and their skin or hair can be used for the tailoring of cloths. We have shown previously that in several Upper Palaeolithic sites two morphotypes of fossil large canids can be distinguished: Palaeolithic dogs and Pleistocene wolves. The remains of Palaeolithic dogs occur in certain early and mid Upper Palaeolithic sites located above 45° latitude; their geographic distribution in post-Last Glacial Maximum sites is more widespread. We adapt here a table proposed by Sigaut (1980) and compare canid products, from living and dead animals, that could have been of possible use in Upper Palaeolithic societies. These products are based on data from the ethnographic literature and confronted with the possible registration of uses in the archaeological record. It is in a framework of an animated worldview of Upper Palaeolithic peoples drawn upon a range of archaeozoological, archaeological, and ethnographic data that we review whether some of these uses and products could have led to differential access to resources and could possibly have enhanced inequality among Upper Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers.
