| Abstract: | The distribution of beaver bones in the Tigris-Euphrates basin is reviewed from late Pleistocene to historic times. New archaeological finds are reported from a lowland site on the Syrian steppe. Historical claims for the presence of beavers in this river basin are examined, but most are found wanting in scientific accuracy. |
