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 London-based archaeologist Ellen Green in 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 pursuing a PhD at the University of Reading in archaeology, with a focus on Iron Age burial practices.
