Maria, Dog footprints are discussed at some length in the following paper which has references to other contributions: Cram, Leslie 2000. Varieties of dog in Roman Britain. In: Crockford, S.J. (ed) Dogs Through Time: An Archaeological Perspective. BAR International Series 889, pp. 171-180. The largest dog track from Silchester is illustrated and is about 10 cm long. Ian L. Baxter In a message dated 28/07/2011 19:05:14 GMT Daylight Time, [log in to unmask] writes: Carrying on from the dog breed discussion, is there any way of distinguishing dog, fox and wolf from paw prints in Roman tegulae? We have several from a Roman public bath-house, and this is one of the questions we have been asked. And are there any references to paw prints in general which should be read? From the comments posted earlier, I suspect I know what the answer will be, but just in case..... Thank you. Maria Gardiner (The Mid-Sussex Field Archaeology Team.)
