Stable Isotope and Ancient DNA Analysis of Dog Remains From Cathlapotle (45CL1), a Contact-Era Site on the Lower Columbia River
This study reports ancient DNA (aDNA) and stable isotope analyses of eight dog skeletal elements from the Cathlapotle site on the Lower Columbia River of the western United States. The aDNA analysis confirmed the elements as dogs (Canis lupus familiaris). Two haplotypes were found, both of which gro...

This study reports ancient DNA (aDNA) and stable isotope analyses of eight dog skeletal elements from the Cathlapotle site on the Lower Columbia River of the western United States.

The isotopic analysis showed that the dogs’ dietary protein was derived almost exclusively from marine sources.
