In this&nbsp;necropolis, 22 dog remains have been discovered in 20 archaeological features (in pit, undercut, and vaulted graves, as&nbsp;well as in pits). These burials are divided into three basic groups: independent canine burials, burials of dogs with other&nbsp;animals, and canine burials clearly associated with human graves. Each of the types is discussed in detail in the context&nbsp;of its broad cultural background. The analyzed material also makes it possible to attempt to explain the genesis of such&nbsp;burials and to interpret their meaning.<br><br></p> ER -
