• Resumen

  • The remains of roasted, chopped and defleshed dog skulls in the Eurasian steppe are providing evidence of a bizarre rite of passage for young boys from 4000 years ago--one that might have echoes in the foundation myth of ancient Rome. David Anthony and his Hartwick colleague Dorcas Brown analysed the bones of at least 64 dogs and wolves. The remains came from a Bronze Age site roughly 3700 to 3900 years old, at the ancient village of Krasnosamarskoe in present-day Russia.
