Скачать или смотреть Q&A - Ancient American Dogs, Spanish War Dogs, Ritual Burials, Bone Tattoos, and more!

In this Q&A-style episode, David Ian Howe opens the inbox and takes on your most fascinating (and occasionally unhinged) questions about the archaeology, symbolism, and deep history of dogs. From pack-carrying canines of the Plains to Aztec mythology, war dogs in Mesoamerica, ritual dog burials, and even a bone needle tattoo session in honor of his late German Shepherd, Strider—this episode goes everywhere.

Topics Covered:

Dogs as pack animals in Indigenous North America
Ancient and rare breeds like the Xoloitzcuintli and Greenland Dog
War dogs from Rome to the Conquistadors
Symbolic vs. utilitarian roles of dogs in burials
Dog consumption in Mesoamerica, Polynesia, and beyond
How cats got domesticated (or didn’t)
Indigenous relationships with dingoes
Bone arrowheads and the archaeology of Wyoming
Domesticating foxes (and your DMs about it)
Why some wolves are black (hint: dog genes)
Strider’s memorial tattoo made with an actual bone needle

Plus: David discusses the academic struggle of carving out a space for Ethnocynology as a field—and why he doesn’t have a PhD.

Also mentioned in this episode:

Buffalo Bird Woman
Handbook of American Indians
Totemic Tattoo (tattoo artist)
Aztec mythology (Xolotl, the dog god)
"Tamed: Ten Species That Changed Human History"
Bear Grease podcast with Clay Newcomb (MeatEater)

Trigger warning: This episode contains honest discussions of ritual animal sacrifice, dog consumption, colonization, and ancient human remains.
