Anotace

V originále

The dataset was created to document the size differences of pigs on archaeological sites in the region of the Eastern Mediterranean (Greek mainland, western Anatolia, Crete, and Cyprus). Over 3000 measurements were collected, mainly from the available literature. Unpublished measurements were kindly provided by David S. Reese from his personal database. The largest specimens were recorded at the Neolithic sites in western Anatolia. Measurements from western Anatolia display clear bimodality, which suggests the presence of the two populations (wild and domestic) at those sites. The presence of two populations is also likely at some Neolithic and Bronze Age sites on the Greek mainland, but the bimodality is less clear, which suggests the overlapping of the wild and domestic populations. Currently, there is no clear indication of the presence of two populations on the islands (Crete, Cyprus). This could be caused by the phenomenon of island dwarfism, which might prevent the distinction between wild and domestic forms.
