archaeology 10,000-year-old bones reveal earliest goat herders’ practices To trace the domestication of the goat, an international team of researchers have analysed 10,000 year-old goat bones from two sites in the Zagros Mountains in present-day western Iran. Using ancient DNA and zooarchaeological analyses the study, which is published today in PNAS, shows that these animals may represent the earliest known example of goat herding. Researchers from the Center for the Study of Early Agricultural Societies (CSEAS) at the University of Copenhagen contributed to the study.
