It is the oldest evidence of hunting dogs working with us; archaeologists also found that they were practically family members.
Dogs were domesticated by humans 14,000 years ago in the Jordan region. The burials of dogs alongside humans show us that even at that time there was an intimate relationship between man and animal, but there is still a lot to discover. Recently, a study carried out by the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, shows that they may also have been used as a hunting aid 11,500 years ago.
The analysis was performed on animal bones found in northeastern Jordan. Dogs are known to have lived with humans in the village of Shubayqa 6, in the early Neolithic period. The archaeologists' surprise came to discover that the gazelle bones showed evidence of having been in the digestive system of a carnivorous animal. The theory was based on the size of the bones, which were too big to have been swallowed by humans.
The study by zoo-archaeologist Lisa Yeomans was first published in the Journal of Anthropological Archeology. The article also points out, due to the traces left at the site, that “the dogs were not kept on the margins of the settlement, but must have been closely integrated into all aspects of daily life and allowed to roam freely around the settlement, feeding on discarded bones and defecating in and around the settlement. local".
Lisa tells in an interview with AH that this is "the first evidence that dogs have had a substantial impact on human hunting methods." There were already assumptions that dogs would be an object of hunting, but no study before has been able to bring specific details of how this happened. “People almost certainly saw dogs as a very close ally and saw them as important tools to help with hunting,” says Lisa.
