Resumen de Where the wild things are: aurochs and cattle in England

Anthony H. Lynch, Julie Hamilton, Robert E. M. Hedges

• The aurochs was a type of wild cattle not extinct in Europe until the mid-second millennium BC - so they must have co-existed for centuries with the domestic cattle which were to supplant it. Here the authors use stable isotope analysis to show what form that co-existence took: the domestic cattle grazing on the pasture, and the aurochs lurking in the forests and wet places.
