Summary[edit]

Description
English: Dog skull (Canis lupus familiaris) from the outlying land of Bergsgården, Gökhem parish, Vilske hundred, Falköping municipality, former Skaraborg county, Västergötland, Sweden. A dog skeleton was found together with bones from a young woman when ditching the former bog just across the road at Dammeslätt at the outlying land of Bergsgården. The woman is radiocarbon dated to the transition between the Bronze Age and the Iron Age, so one can assume the dog to be of similar age, i.e. around 2500 years old. The dog was probably of ordinary spitz type and had a height of circa 50-55 cm.
Svenska: Hundkranium (Canis lupus familiaris) från Bergsgårdens utmark i Gökhems socken, Vilske härad, Falköpings kommun, f.d. Skaraborgs län, Västergötland, Sverige. Ett hundskelett hittades tillsamman med ben från en ung kvinna vid kanalgrävning i mossen mittemot Dammeslätt i Bergsgårdens utmark. På fyndstället framvällde ett kraftigt källdrag på cirka 1,5 m djup och i detta tros både kvinnan och hunden ha gått ner sig. Hundskelettet har inventarienummer 2872:2 (2M16-F2872-02) på Falbygdens museum. Kvinnan är C14-daterad till övergången mellan bronsålder och järnålder, varför man kan anta att även hunden är av samma ålder, d.v.s. runt 2500 år gammal. Hunden bedöms ha haft en mankhöjd på runt 50-55 cm och varit av ordinär spetstyp. Objektpositionen nedan avser fyndplatsen.
