Hi Sonja
 
You've received lots of interesting ref's. Here's a few more...
 
1. you can view some excellent books on google books, such as:
Darcy Morey, Dogs: Domestication and the Development of a Social Bond - viewable on:
 
2. Prof. Wietske Prummel did some interesting work on dog burials which might be relevant:
PRUMMEL, W. 1992. - Early Medieval Dog Burials Among the Germanic Tribes. Helinium XXXII(1-2):  132-194.
I can share a pdf of this or you can contact Dr. Prummel directly for a copy. She's at the University of Groningen. http://www.rug.nl/let/onderzoek/onderzoekinstituten/gia/Staff/wPrummel
 
best, Pam

Dear all,

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
