Abstract

We used stable (δ¹⁸O) and radiogenic (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) isotopic proxies to investigate the origins of dogs (Canis familiaris) buried in Viking Age graves at Luistari, Finland. While all 13 dogs exhibited oxygen isotope values compatible with local surface waters, ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios for two of the four dogs analyzed (graves 289 and 480) were compatible with a likely origin in southern Scandinavia. The findings align with previous evidence of the mobility of Viking Age dogs. The results highlight the importance of dogs in trade, exchange and social networks between communities in southwestern Finland and the Baltic Sea coastline during the Viking Age.

在芬兰欧拉的路易斯塔里，维京时代狗的起源

我们使用稳定同位素（δ18O）和放射性同位素（87Sr/86Sr）代用物研究了芬兰Luistari维京时代墓葬中狗（Canis familiaris）的起源。虽然所有13只狗的氧同位素值都与当地地表水相符，但分析的4只狗中有两只（坟墓289和480）的87Sr/86Sr比值与斯堪的纳维亚南部的可能起源相符。这一发现与先前关于维京时代狗的机动性的证据一致。研究结果强调了在维京时代，狗在芬兰西南部和波罗的海沿岸社区之间的贸易、交换和社交网络中的重要性。

期刊介绍： The aim of the International Journal of Osteoarchaeology is to provide a forum for the publication of papers dealing with all aspects of the study of human and animal bones from archaeological contexts. The journal will publish original papers dealing with human or animal bone research from any area of the world. It will also publish short papers which give important preliminary observations from work in progress and it will publish book reviews. All papers will be subject to peer review. The journal will be aimed principally towards all those with a professional interest in the study of human and animal bones. This includes archaeologists, anthropologists, human and animal bone specialists, palaeopathologists and medical historians.
