Lunch & Lecture presents “The Archaeology of Dogs in the Western Great Lakes” with Richard (Rick) W. Edwards IV, PhD, RPA, Principal investigator for Commonwealth Heritage Group and an Honorary Fellow at UWM. Dogs have been humans’ companions for at least 15,000 years. Throughout the millennia, the nature of the relationship between humans and dogs was nuanced and variable; it changed depending on when, where, and in which society the dogs lived. This presentation explores the nature of the human-dog relationship in the Western Great Lakes, with a focus on the Late Prehistoric (circa AD 900-1600).
