A doggie’s long walk, 7000 years ago
As I discussed in a post on the ‘King of Stonehenge’ many moons ago (see http://bit.ly/2gPIo6Y) teeth uncovered in archaeological digs are able to tell us important tales, including where people or animals grew up and what foods were predominant in their diet. An exciting site near the long lived sacred landscape around Stonehenge (active from at least 7,000 to 3,500 years ago) called Blick Mead that seems to have been a long term encampment has provided poignant evidence for a 375km journey undertaken by a dog, presumably accompanying its master for some long forgotten purpose.
