This is a fascinating discovery isn't it? And yes, the reconstruction looks very wolf-like. Moss emphasises the point under her News entry that the discovery of 24 dog skulls in one tomb seems to indicate a totemic aspect for the people who placed their remains in a tomb. Perhaps this is the first actual evidence of wolves becoming semi-domesticated.
