Primeros fechados C14AMS sobre restos de perros (Canis lupus familiaris) de sitios arqueológicos de Cuba: cronología y contexto
Domestic dog remains have been encountered in deposits of agroceramist filiation (ceramic-age) of the Cuban archaeological record. However, some have also been found in older, archaic-age contexts. These remains, although undated, prompted the hypothesis of a pre-ceramic age introduction of domestic...
