Abstrakt		A dog (Canis familiaris) skull was found during the excavations at the archaeological site of Hočevarica in Ljubljansko barje (central Slovenia). Its age was estimated to approximately 5,600 B.C. (i.e. bronze age). In that period Ljubljansko barje was a lake inhabited by lake-dwellers. The skull, which is partially damaged, is in its shape similar to those of nowadays hounds. The oldest archaeological remains of dogs are known from Great Britain (9,500 B.C.), Iran (11,000 B.C.) and Germany (12.000 B.C.), but the latest genetic research suggests, that the domestication dates to early man (i.e. approx. 100.000 B.C.).
