Archaeologists have discovered that the ancient dog spent more than 8400 years in a cemetery in the Swedish Stone Age region.
The dog buried next to human remains, component of an ancient culture called “funeral items”: the living left valuable or sentimental objects with the dead.
An animal osteologist examined the bones, but discovered that there was no comparable fashion dog, claiming it was “like a hard greyhound. “
The colony, originally built near the coast, was covered through emerging marine grades that deposited sand and dust over the remains that preserved the artifacts for thousands of years.

The domain where the dog was discovered is part of a giant site where local government and archaeologists are lately wearing down one of the most giant archaeological excavations ever carried out in the domain.
The colony is located in what is now Ljungaviken in S evervesborg and has been a privileged site for archaeologists since 2015.
