Worldwide phylogeography of wild boar reveals multiple centres of pig domestication (2005)
Journal Article
Larson, G., Dobney, K., Albarella, U., Fang, M., Matisoo-Smith, E., Robins, J., …Cooper, A. (2005). Worldwide phylogeography of wild boar reveals multiple centres of pig domestication. Science, 307(5715), 1618-1621. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1106927

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences from 686 wild and domestic pig specimens place the origin of wild boar in island Southeast Asia (ISEA), where they dispersed across Eurasia. Previous morphological and genetic evidence suggested pig domestication t... Read More about Worldwide phylogeography of wild boar reveals multiple centres of pig domestication.

The main purpose of this study is to outline the osteometric variation of Sus from the Neolithic to the present day in Portugal.We start by focussing upon two important Chalcolithic sites —Zambujal and Leceia— with their abundant collections of suid...

Journal Article
Dobney, K., Ervynck, A., Albarella, U., & Rowley-Conwy, P. (2004). The chronology and frequency of a stress marker (linear enamel hypoplasia) in recent and archaeological populations of Sus scrofa in north-west Europe, and the effects of early domestication.

Linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH), a deficiency in enamel formation visible on mammal tooth crowns, can be used as a retrospective indicator of physiological stress and developmental health in humans and animals. In this first study, for north-western E...
