Hello all,
A friend in London is putting together a television special about animals.
Tentatively titled "Secrets of the Dead - Pets," the progam details
examples of joint human and animal burials, expanding upon possible and
probable reasons why the animals were buried with the humans. She is
looking for both prehistoric and historic period examples from any culture,
worldwide, and plans to highlight 3 or 4 such cases. If anyone has a
particular example in mind and is interested in contributing, please
contact Eve MacDonald at <[log in to unmask]>.
Best wishes
Michael MacKinnon
