Fidenae, 9th century BCE Near Rome, archaeologists uncovered the remains of a dog buried beneath a tuff and clay structure. Not just a carcass—it was a foundation sacrifice, a ritual meant to protect the newborn settlement. #ancientdog #romandogs #dogarchaeology #archeozoology #romacanesmundi #dog

Vindolanda’s excavations uncovered 8 dog types: sighthounds, mastiffs, terriers, miniatures… even dwarf dogs with oversized skulls. Selective breeding in Roman times was real. #Archeozoology

Biggest take away: Will is awesome. Archeozoology is FANTASTIC. the use of genome studies & his work on horse bones show us how science should be done. Plus the gene culture coevolution leading to the adoption of horse use as opposed to other pack animals 🔥
Horses were one of our oldest preferred food sources, but they have since become central friends in many cultures and we build slightly murderous but beloved airport statues of them. How and when did this switch happen? (2/3) #SPSP2025 #EPatSPSP2025
