In 2018, Lanoë and his team unearthed a tibia, or lower leg bone, belonging to an adult canine at the Swan Point site, about 70 miles southeast of Fairbanks, Alaska.

Lanoë noted that while the behavior of these ancient canines suggests a form of domestication, genetically, they may not be related to modern dog breeds.
