• Resumen

  • In this work we study several canid bone and dental remains, hitherto unpublished, with morphometric characteristics typical of dholes (genus Cuon). The material comes from the excavations carried out in the 1980s in the Cova Negra (Xàtiva), corresponding to occupation levels of Neanderthal human groups during the Middle Palaeolithic (Middle and Late Pleistocene).

    Some of the dhole remains show evidence of anthropogenic origin in the form of cut-marks, resulting from the defleshing activities indicating processes of interaction between the human groups and these canids.
