Re: Dog interment I suppose you are aware of the dog remains recorded in many of the chambered tombs in Orkney. A wide range of animal remains were recovered from Quanterness which included dog. Dog was part of a group of subsidiary species at Isbister which were mainly from immature animals. Twenty four dog skulls were found at Cuween Hill and seven at Burray. Dogs appear to be a special case especially where the skulls have been carefully preserved.
