Summary
Tables A.3 and A.4, comprising the bulk of this appendix, provide a compilation of raw data on canid specimens that serve as the basis for inferences covered especially in Chapter 3. Chapter 3 also covers the criteria used to generate metric observations, the bulk of this data base. Table A.3 is restricted to wild canid specimens, and Table A.4 provides the raw data on all archaeological dog specimens that are used. Many of the metric data are as appear in Morey (1990: Appendix A). There are, however, two exceptions, one of which is the domestic dogs (Table A.4). For reasons explained in the text of Chapter 3, a small part of these data was revised from those used in the 1990 study, and those revised data, presented here, are in Morey (1992: 188). The other data, on modern canids, were mostly collected in the late 1980s, and at several different institutions. As for the second exception alluded to earlier, some data on juvenile wolves recorded in the late 1980s were not part of Morey's (1990) earlier synthetic study and do not appear in that data base. They are, however, part of this study and appear in the present database. Several conventions for recording qualitative observations require advance explanation, starting with the provenience of the individual specimens themselves.
