Destructive sampling and export of archaeofaunal remains (SADogs Project)

Application for destructive sampling of archaeofaunal remains from four archaeological sites for the purposes of aDNA and ZooMS analyses. The selected samples will form part of a larger research project that is concerned with the identification and characterization of domesticated dogs from early archaeological sites in South Africa. Samples of unidentified carnivore remains from these sites will also be included in the study, as some of these may well be dog remains.
