(a) Discriminant shape space of Sus scrofa calcaneus computed from modern and Mesolithic wild boars as well as extant domestic pigs. Modern wild boars include individuals born in the wild but raised in captivity until the age of 2 years. Klimonas (KLIM) and Shillourokombos (SHI) specimens have been projected onto this discriminant shape space and their membership to three morphogroups: free-ranging wild boars, captive wild boars and domestic pigs has been assessed by k-NN algorithm. Deformation along the two discriminant axes are displayed using heatmaps where greater change are shown in red.
