Kristina Killgrove is an archaeologist with specialties in ancient human skeletons and science communication. Her academic research has appeared in numerous scientific journals, while her news stories and essays have been published in venues such as Forbes, Mental Floss and Smithsonian.
The discovery of a lynx buried with four dogs at an early-medieval settlement in Hungary is confounding archaeologists, as these wild cats are rarely found in archaeological digs.
Yet remains of lynxes have been found at only a couple dozen archaeological sites in Europe and Asia."Archaeologically, lynx skeletons are extremely rare, as lynx meat is usually not consumed," study co-author Lászlo Bartosiewicz, an archaeologist at Stockholm University, told Live Science in an email. Sometimes, lynx claws end up in human graves, and pelts are occasionally found, Bartosiewicz said, but intact skeletons are rarely encountered.
