Journal Article
Feuerborn, T. R., Carmagnini, A., Losey, R. J., Nomokonova, T., Askeyev, A., Askeyev, I., …Frantz, L. (2021). Modern Siberian dog ancestry was shaped by several thousand years of Eurasian-wide trade and human dispersal. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 118(39), Article e2100338118. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2100338118

Dogs have been essential to life in the Siberian Arctic for over 9,500 y, and this tight link between people and dogs continues in Siberian communities. Although Arctic Siberian groups such as the Nenets received limited gene flow from neighboring gr...

CoproID predicts the source of coprolites and paleofeces using microbiome composition and host DNA content (2020)
Journal Article
Borry, M., Cordova, B., Perri, A., Wibowo, M., Prasad Honap, T., Ko, J., …Warinner, C. (2020). CoproID predicts the source of coprolites and paleofeces using microbiome composition and host DNA content. PeerJ – the Journal of Life & Environmental Sciences, 8, Article e9001. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.9001

Shotgun metagenomics applied to archaeological feces (paleofeces) can bring new insights into the composition and functions of human and animal gut microbiota from the past. However, paleofeces often undergo physical distortions in archaeological sed...

Specialized sledge dogs accompanied Inuit dispersal across the North American Arctic (2019)
Journal Article
Ameen, C., Feuerborn, T. R., Brown, S. K., Linderholm, A., Hulme-Beaman, A., Lebrasseur, O., …Evin, A. (2019). Specialized sledge dogs accompanied Inuit dispersal across the North American Arctic. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 286(1916), Article 20191929. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2019.1929

Domestic dogs have been central to life in the North American Arctic for millennia. The ancestors of the Inuit were the first to introduce the widespread usage of dog sledge transportation technology to the Americas, but whether the Inuit adopted loc...

Dietary variation among indigenous Nicaraguan horticulturalists and their dogs: An ethnoarchaeological application of the Canine Surrogacy Approach (2019)
Journal Article
Perri, A. R., Koster, J. M., Otárola-Castillo, E., Burns, J. L., & Cooper, C. G. (2019). Dietary variation among indigenous Nicaraguan horticulturalists and their dogs: An ethnoarchaeological application of the Canine Surrogacy Approach. Journal of Anthropological Archaeology, 55, Article 101066. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jaa.2019.05.002

Dietary reconstruction via stable isotope analysis is an important part of the study of past populations, but can raise issues in many parts of the world where human remains are scarce, absent, or restricted due to ethical concerns. Given these issue... Read More about Dietary variation among indigenous Nicaraguan horticulturalists and their dogs: An ethnoarchaeological application of the Canine Surrogacy Approach.

New Evidence of the Earliest Domestic Dogs in the Americas (2018)
Journal Article
Perri, A., Widga, C., Lawler, D., Martin, T., Loebel, T., Farnsworth, K., …Buenger, B. (2019). New Evidence of the Earliest Domestic Dogs in the Americas. American Antiquity, 84(1), 68-87. https://doi.org/10.1017/aaq.2018.74

The domestication of dogs likely occurred in Eurasia by 16,000 years ago, and the initial peopling of the Americas potentially happened around the same time. Dogs were long thought to have accompanied the first migrations into the Americas, but concl... Read More about New Evidence of the Earliest Domestic Dogs in the Americas.

Detecting hidden diets and disease: Zoonotic parasites and fish consumption in Mesolithic Ireland (2018)
Journal Article
Perri, A., Power, R., Stuijts, I., Heinrich, S., Talamo, S., Hamilton-Dyer, S., & Roberts, C. (2018). Detecting hidden diets and disease: Zoonotic parasites and fish consumption in Mesolithic Ireland. Journal of Archaeological Science, 97, 137-146. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2018.07.010

Archaeoparasitology is increasingly being used as a tool in archaeological research to investigate relationships between past humans, environments, diets and disease. It can be particularly useful in contexts where parasite eggs preserve, but human a...

The evolutionary history of dogs in the Americas (2018)
Journal Article

The dog was the first domesticated animal but it remains uncertain when the domestication process began and whether it occurred just once or multiple times across the Northern Hemisphere. To ascertain the value of modern genetic data to elucidate the... Read More about Rethinking dog domestication by integrating genetics, archeology, and biogeography.
