The facial reconstruction of a Mesolithic Dog, Muge, Portugal
Moraes, Cicero; Pereira, Hugo Matos; Requicha, Joao Filipe; Alves, Lara; Alexandre-Pires, Graça; Jesus, Sandra de; Guimarães, Silvia; Ginja, CatarinaABSTRACT: This paper presents the facial reconstruction of a Mesolithic dog whose skeleton was recovered from the Muge shell middens (Portugal) in the 19th century. We used the anatomical deformation approach based on a collection of computer tomography images as an attempt to reconstruct the Muge dog's head appearance. We faced a few challenges due to the level of bone displacement and the absence of some cran...

The potential of computed tomography in odontometry: application to a Mesolithi...
Pereira, Hugo Matos; Requicha, João Filipe; Alves, Lara; Gonçalves, David; Correia, Joana Belo; Alexandre-Pires, Graça; de Jesus, Sandra; Viegas, CarlosA large odontometric reference database is essential for a clear and reliable differentiation between the teeth of dogs and wolves found in archaeological contexts. However, the data compilation of skeletal material is a slow process because access to dog remains may be difficult. The expansion of a dental database could benefit from computed tomography (CT) scans performed on live dogs during medical appointme...
