The dogs of Roman Vindolanda, Part II: Time-stratigraphic occurrence, ethnographic comparisons, and biotype reconstruction

Abstract: El fuerte-poblado romano de Vindolanda en el norte de Inglaterra fue ocupado desde el 50 al 415 A.D. y ha proporcionado una importante colección de restos bien conservados de perro, Canis familiaris. En este trabajo se contesta a las preguntas acerca de si los romanos criaron perros con el propósito de obtener morfotipos específicos o si aquellos perros se cruzaron libremente y de modo aleatorio (panmixis). También, si los perros fueron criados, si tal cría respondía a razones funcionales. Utilizando restos ca… Show more

“…Overall, the dogs show a similar size variation to dogs across other Roman regions and sites, e.g. Pompeii (Italia) 24 , Vindolanda (Britannia) 17 , 81 , and Hispania Tarraconensis 16 , 17 , 24 . The detection of three small-sized adult and abnormally short-limbed dogs (HAL16/HAL10, HAU12, HAU14) one of which with a brachycephalic skull (HAU14), and a slender dog (HAU2), denotes distinctive morphotypes of small dogs co-occurred at Augusta Raurica.…”

“…During the Roman period dogs were particularly esteemed as pets, with a number of small dogs appearing in the Roman homeland and provinces 16 , 20 . For example, small-sized dogs with a brachycephalic skull (similar to Pekingese) and/or with abnormally short limbs (similar to Dachshund, Basset Hound), have been described in the archaeozoological record from a variety of Roman sites in Britannia 17 , 21 , 22 , Hispania 16 , 23 , Italia 24 and Pannonia 25 . Together, the data suggest dog breeding for the purpose of selection for a specific phenotype, such as size, shortened limbs or slenderness.…”
