If you are fascinated by the Viking Age and love dogs, wolves or horses, then this is the archaeology and history podcast for you! In this episode, Dr. Tom Horne chats with Drs. Ruth Carden, Mary Valante and Rena Maguire of the Viking Dublin Dogs research team about their fascinating work on understanding the characteristics of dogs, wolves and horses, and what made them so important to the peoples of early medieval Europe. What's more, you can help them raise money for more vital radiocarbon dating of bones that will help give us enormous insight into these hugely important animals, their trade and breeding, and the vast range of vital human-animal interactions that were central to the daily lives of people in early medieval Ireland, Britain and Scandinavia. Find our about the Crowdfunder Campaign on the Viking Dublin Dogs website! https://www.vikingdublindogs.ie/category/all-products
Producer, Editor and Co-host: Luke Barry
Find out more about the project from the Viking Dublin Dogs social media channels https://www.twitter.com/VikingDublinDog | https://www.facebook.com/VikingDublinDogs
And discover even more from their brilliant website (https://www.vikingdublindogs.ie/), from which we learn the following:
This pioneering project will run from 2022 to 2028, studying bones from across several sites in Ireland and Britain. The Researcher Pack will investigate the origins, diet, sizes and gender of dogs and wolves, their roles, and the roles of horses in human societies in Viking-Age and Medieval times.
Not much is known about dogs from Viking-Age and Medieval periods, apart from their body sizes: small, medium and large types. There were no dog breeds as we know them today.
