For those few who are still waiting on delivery of your #VikingDogs badges and prints, know that these should go out into the post next week. I suffered an injury which prevented me from driving the past 5 weeks. Slow healing but getting there. Sincere apologies for delays.
Cutting edge this morning!

When I said cutting edge, I meant it! This is the start… #VikingDogs are a-calling!! #AWOOOOO!!!
We are coming into the last 10 days or so of our #Vikingdogs and #horses radiocarbon dating Crowdfunder. If you choose Backers’ naming rights for either, be fun way to get involved with cutting-edge zooarchaeological project & follow along! Many thanks! https://www.vikingdublindogs.ie/category/all-products

Thanks to Clare Rainsford for last week’s wonderful posts about York #VikingDogs. I (Ruth) needed some time off due to eye trouble (I’ll post Clare’s last posts after this one).

I’m back this week with more of our #dog & #horse Irish bones. Sharing the account for next while with the wonderful & knowledgeable @StillJustRena

Sometimes all you get is a tooth of an animal from a particular area or context within an excavation. Like this canine tooth, Dog#6 Newtown, Co. Dublin, Ireland. Excavated by IAC Archaeology. But we can gain so much info even from one tooth - date, diet, origins etc. #VikingDogs #vikingdublindogs
