#AWOOOOO Fantastic news! We were awarded some funding from the National Monuments Service, Ireland for our #VikingDublinDogs project - enough to date at least 15 dogs. Brilliant! We are over the moon and many many thanks to National Monuments Service on behalf of us all. #dogs #JoinThePack
I’m so happy, as PI (Ruth here running this account) of #VikingDublinDogs, to be able to gather support from @NationalMons & I’m extremely grateful to the Chief Archaeologist, Michael MacDonagh for this support. This will help date so many dogs & inform us on their chronologies & coupled with other results 1/2
- stable isotopes, bone measurements analysis and aDNA, will be so informative about Irish & British dogs from a time we know little about dogs from, & their roles in human societies during, Viking-Age & Medieval periods. #VikingDublinDogs #JoinThePack

@SummerJackel Thank you. We still need to raise more radiocarbon dating costs to be covered and running our crowdfunding campaign until August 13 2023. If you can help in any way that would be fantastic and please spread the word. Found on our website www.vikingdublindogs.ie Thank you for any help at all - Ruth
