Here we present a preliminary report on the biometric variability of the upper and lower carnassial of Canis lupus from several late Middle to Late Pleistocene sites of Apulia (southern Italy). Our results indicate a dimensional trend of wolves which allows two distinct chronological morphotypes to be identified, represented by medium-sized forms, reported until the MIS 4 followed by larger forms starting with the MIS 3. © the individual authors and Archaeopress 2023.

Abstract
Here we present a preliminary report on the biometric variability of the upper and lower carnassial of Canis lupus from several late Middle to Late Pleistocene sites of Apulia (southern Italy). Our results indicate a dimensional trend of wolves which allows two distinct chronological morphotypes to be identified, represented by medium-sized forms, reported until the MIS 4 followed by larger forms starting with the MIS 3. © the individual authors and Archaeopress 2023.
