(Cave Management continues on page 4) Beneath the Forest 3 (Cave Management continued from page 3) The forest’s karst management includes managing the karst resources as well as karst geologic hazards. Cave management is facilitated by the Federal Cave Resources Protection Act (FCRPA) of 1988 and laws which protect threatened and endangered species, cultural resources, or other resources found in caves. In contrast, management of the much larger karst lands or resources may have less legal framework for management, and so, can present more challenges.

Several ideas have been proposed, including the excessive mastication of grit- laden foods and non-dietary anterior tooth use, or using the anterior dentition as a clamp or tool.

In order to reinforce this view and contribute to the ongoing debate on late Neanderthal behavior, we present evidence from zooarchaeological and taphonomic analyses of bear bone remains discovered at Grotta del Rio Secco and Grotta di Fumane in northeast Italy, an extended geographic area north of the Adriatic Sea. The remains from both caves come from layers dated to 49-42 ky cal. BP, and suggest close interactions between humans and bears, with data not only limited to the association of Mousterian lithic artifacts with numerous bear remains, but also the detection of clearly preserved traces of human modification such as cut and percussion marks, which enable a reconstruction of the main steps of fur recovery and the butchering process. Examples of Neanderthal bear exploitation are extremely sporadic in Europe, and Grotta Rio Secco and Grotta Fumane can be considered rare cases of remain accumulations generated by the human predation of bears of varied age classes during or near the end of hibernation.

My dissertation advisor, Dr. Nicholas J. Conard has been supportive from the beginning of my dissertation and provided opportunities to broaden my perspective and to delve into my research. I owe many thanks to Dr. Mary C. Stiner, who has been provided inspiration through her work as well as thoughtful comments and advices. Despite the fact that she is far from Tübingen, she has helped me tremendously. I would also like to give my thanks to Dr. Michael Bolus and Dr. Chris Miller. Their expertise on the Swabian Jura as well as their comments to my work has been insightful and helpful. I am very grateful for Kurt Wehrberger from Ulmer Museum, who has been supportive from the beginning of the dissertation and allowed me to have access to the material from the previous excavation as well as numerous references and resources. The analysis of the material from the excavation 2009-2011 has been not possible without the generous help and support from Dr. Joachim-Claus Kind and Thomas Beutelspacher from Denkmalpflege Baden-Württemberg as well as the crew at the excavation in Hohlenstein-Stadel.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Excess protein enabled dog domestication during severe Ice Age winters Maria Lahtinen 1,2*, David Clinnick3,4, Kristiina Mannermaa5,6, J. Sakari Salonen7,8 & Suvi Viranta9 Dogs (Canis familiaris) are the frst animals to be domesticated by humans and the only ones domesticated by mobile hunter-gatherers. Wolves and humans were both persistent, pack hunters of large prey. They were species competing over resources in partially overlapping ecological niches and capable of killing each other. How could humans possibly have domesticated a competitive species? Here we present a new hypothesis based on food/resource partitioning between humans and incipient domesticated wolves/dogs. Humans are not fully adapted to a carnivorous diet; human consumption of meat is limited by the liver’s capacity to metabolize protein. Contrary to humans, wolves can thrive on lean meat for months. We present here data showing that all the Pleistocene archeological sites with dog or incipient dog remains are from areas that were analogous to subarctic and arctic environments. Our calculations show that during harsh winters, when game is lean and devoid of fat, Late Pleistocene hunters-gatherers in Eurasia would have a surplus of animal derived protein that could have been shared with incipient dogs. Our partitioning theory explains how competition may have been ameliorated during the initial phase of dog domestication. Following this initial period, incipient dogs would have become docile, being utilized in a multitude of ways such as hunting companions, beasts of burden and guards as well as going through many similar evolutionary changes as humans.
