Hi Sonja

As Salima suggested Behrens, H. 1964. Die neolithisch-frühmetallzeitlichen Tierskelettfunde der Alten Welt. Berlin, Veb Deutscher Verlag der Wissenschaften, contains some interesting examples, over 50% are dog skeletons, covering a wide geographical of Europe, Africa and if my memory serves Asia.

When I examined animal burials from Britain I did find a number of dogs associated with human funerary contexts, although partial and complete dog skeletons are much more common on urban features. There is a copy of my BAR 'Investigating Animal Burials' on zoobook (http://zooarchaeology.ning.com/), sorry for the self-promotion

Cheers

Jim

at the cemetery of the Roman city of Viminacium (Serbia) a (puppy) dog buried with two terracotta lamps was discovered.

Does anyone know any analogous or similar situation??? Literature suggestion on the subject of dog burials within cemeteries is welcome!!!

Thank you,

greetings from Viminacium,

Sonja
