A Taphonomic study of wild wolf (Canis lupus) Modification of horse bones in Northwestern Spain

Abstract

Taphonomy studies of carnivores have become an integral part of taphonomy research in the past two decades. These studies are developing a referential framework for the identification of carnivore signature variety in the fossil record. Hyaenas and felids are predominant in the studies, whereas other carnivores such as wolves have not and discusses the implications for the study site formation in the Eurasian Pleistocene, Carcasses have undergone different kinds of consumption by wild wolves and show important differences in the degree of bone modification according to wolf hunting and scavenging strategies. The different degree of bone destruction when consumed in one or may events is also discussed.
