cucumberseed: 16,500 years ago in Jordan, there were foxes buried in human graves. The authors of the original paper believe they might have been, if not precisely pets, then "potential domesticates . . . smaller and easier to control—although more skittish and timid—than the wolf. It seems likely that foxes could have shared a similar type of relationship with humans as wolves did, even if they were never truly domesticated." I will never make an archaeologist. I flashed on 'Uyun al-Hammam as a graveyard of kitsune: some buried in their human-shape, some in fox.
