More than a Pet (ASWM 37-2)

More than a Pet: Exploring Canine Cultural Histories in North America

Archaeology Southwest Magazine 37-2

Issue editor: R.E. Burrillo

52 pages

According to English-language dictionaries, a pet is a domestic or tamed animal kept for companionship or pleasure. And dogs certainly check those boxes. But they are also hunting guides. Living blankets. Hard workers. Protectors. And friends.

This issue explores a handful of the countless ways our relationships with dogs of all sorts have manifested in the history of North America. From the Pacific Northwest coast to the eastern seaboard to the Great Plains and, of course, to the Southwest, our contributors consider dog and human interactions in the deep and recent history of the continent.
