| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is thought that domestication of plants might have already occurred in the Jomon period. Accordingly, it is becoming increasingly important to explore the origin of domestication of animals. This work attempts to conduct a basic research in terms of paleopathological approach towards domestication of animals.
Survey of periodontal disease of wild boar (Sus scrofa) from archaeological sites and extant ones, feral and domesticated, concluded that the notion that alveolar pyorrhea is a symptom of domestication is to be reconsidered. Tooth attrition and trauma of an ancient domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris), that have evident trauma and/or paleopathological marks, suggested utilization method of dogs which implies anthropic involvement other than hunting, human consumption or pet.
