Hello Michlib-l,
Please join us at 3:00
PM on Saturday, July 9, 2022 for the Man’s Best Friend: Dogs in the Ancient
World event.
Dogs were
the first animal humans domesticated, and have held a special place in our
societies ever since. Acting as guards, guides to the underworld, companions
and hunters, they have played many parts throughout history. Join archaeologist
Ellen Green in her return to BPL for an exploration of what roles dogs had in
the ancient world and how our canine friends have been there for us for 29,000
years.
Ellen Green is a PhD researcher at the University of Reading in
England, specializing in human remains. Prior to her return to academia she was
a field archaeologist in London for 5 years, and she has worked on sites from
every period in the city's history. She developed a love of archaeology through
many visits to Roman ruins and castles in the UK over many vacations, which
inspired a fascination with the past. She is also a big fan of Indiana Jones.
Hope to see you there!
