You might want to try contacting Brian Hesse and Paula Wapnish at the
University of Alabama Birmingham. They've dealt with more than 2,000 dog
burials at Ashkelon, Israel. I doubt there's anyone out there with a
better feel for the issues. Professor Hesse can be reached at

Subject: dog burials
I know that some on this list have studied dog burials in the past. I am
being given the opportunity to excavate (and subsequently analyze) an
historic dog cemetery in the south eastern US. My question is: those of
you who have studied these burials -- is there anything that you wish
had been done, or any information that you wish had been recorded that
was not?
Thanks for your input!

When I found the skull in the woods, the first thing I did was call the
police. But then I got curious about it. I picked it up, and started
wondering who this person was, and why he had deer horns.
