Over the past few decades, numerous studies have delved into the lives of dogs and their current role in our societies, as well as their vital contribution to human life and history. The body of data and hypotheses has grown steadily, sometimes sparking controversial discussions within each field of inquiry. The domestication of dogs and its remarkable success during prehistoric times has captured the attention of scholars from diverse fields. However, there has been limited interaction between these approaches, making it challenging to gain a comprehensive understanding of the vast array of publications released annually. In contrast, this volume is solely dedicated to dogs, emphasizing the need for an interdisciplinary perspective to fully comprehend the fundamental role that dogs have played in our past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo answer the questions of when, where, how, and why dogs were domesticated, as well as to unravel their story, this book explores their role in the history of humankind. It also examines their role in traditional and non-traditional societies today. The book originated from the conference 'Dogs,Past and Present – an Interdisciplinary Perspective', held at CNR (National Scientific Council) and at Sapienza University in Rome from November 14 to 17, 2018. This conference was promoted by the Italian Association for Ethnoarchaeology and organized by the editors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1776g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 205 x 291 x 29 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781803273549\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":45217013006586,"sku":"9781803273549","price":66.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/dogs-past-and-present-an-interdisciplinary-perspective-9781803273549","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
