This study analyzes animal remains discovered in a burial ground at Mleiha in the United Arab Emirates. The remains include skeletons of camels and horses, which were examined to determine their species, ages, and sex.
The results revealed two types of camels: large camels believed to be hybrids between the two-humped Bactrian camel and the one-humped Arabian camel, and regular Arabian camels. Most camels were young adults, between 5 and 7 years old, while the horses were older.
The study employed Logarithmic Size Indices (LSI) to compare the sizes of the skeletal remains. The results showed that the hybrid camels were significantly larger than typical Arabian camels, while the horses were smaller.
The study suggests that the hybrid camels may have held a high status, possibly due to their large size and strength.
