When Cadaver Dogs Pick Up a Scent, Archaeologists Find Where to Dig

Recent research highlights the power of the canine nose to uncover buried remains from ancient human history.

May 19, 2020

On a sunny summer day in Croatia several years ago, an archaeologist and two dog handlers watched as two dogs, one after another, slowly worked their way across the rocky top of a wind-scoured ridge overlooking the Adriatic Sea.

Bodies had lain in beehive-shape tombs on this necropolis, part of the prehistoric hill fort of Drvišica, since the Iron Age. The two dogs, trained to detect human remains, were searching for scents that were thousands of years old.

Panda, a Belgian Malinois with a “sensitive nose,” according to her handler, Andrea Pintar, had begun exploring the circular leftovers of a tomb when she suddenly froze, her nose pointed toward a stone burial chest. This was her signal that she had located the scent of human remains.

Ms. Pintar said the hair on her arms rose. “I was skeptical, and I was like, ‘She is kidding me,’” she recalled thinking about her dog that day.

Archaeologists had found fragments of human bone and teeth in the chest, but these had been removed months earlier for analysis and radiocarbon dating. All that was left was a bit of dirt, the stone slabs of the tomb and the cracked limestone of the ridge.

Human-remains detection dogs, or cadaver dogs, are used worldwide on land and water. Well-trained dogs help find the missing and dead in disasters, accidents, murders and suicides. But the experiment in Croatia marked the start of one of the most careful inquiries yet carried out of an unusual archaeological method. If such dogs could successfully locate the burial sites of mass executions, dating from World War II through the conflicts in the Balkans in the 1990s, might they be effective in helping archaeologists find truly ancient burials?

On the scent of new tombs

Panda wasn’t kidding. Neither was Mali, the other Belgian Malinois trained by Ms. Pintar and her husband, Christian Nikolić. Each dog gave her final indications that day by either sitting or lying inside the flattened circle of the tombs, their noses pointing toward the burial chests within. In some cases they leapt into the small burial chests before offering an alert.

The dogs’ archaeological expedition had been initiated by Vedrana Glavaš, an archaeologist at Croatia’s University of Zadar. She already knew a great deal about the necropolis at Drvišica, having fully excavated and analyzed the contents of three tombs there. Inside each were rough limestone burial chests. She and her team recovered amber beads, belt buckles, bronze pins, teeth and phalanges. Each chest once held at least two bodies, which radiocarbon dating confirmed were 2,700 years old. The skeletal material was highly fragmented, however, and is still being analyzed.

But were there other tombs on the site, and could the dogs help locate them?

After that first preliminary search and its surprising result, Dr. Glavaš had beers at a local pub with the dogs’ handlers. They decided to hold off any discussion for a few weeks.

“We needed to think a little bit about what just happened,” Dr. Glavaš said.

That “test run” was the beginning of a careful study on whether human-remains detection dogs could be an asset to archaeologists. Setting up a controlled study was difficult. Dr. Glavaš had to learn the scientific literature, such as scent theory, far outside the standard confines of archaeology; the same was true for Ms. Pintar and the field of archaeology.

The training challenges were also difficult. Ancient human remains probably present a different and fainter scent profile than more recently deceased cadavers, especially as decades turn into centuries and then millenniums. False negatives seemed likely to occur.

“I think dogs are really capable of this, but I think it’s a logistical challenge,” said Adee Schoon, a scent-detection-animal expert from the Netherlands who was not involved in the study. “It’s not something you can replicate again and again. It’s hard to train.”

And, as Dr. Schoon noted, dogs are “great anomaly detectors.” Something as subtle as recently disturbed soil can elicit a false alert from a dog that is not rigorously trained.

Nonetheless, the team returned to the necropolis for the first controlled tests in September 2015, and again a full year later. Both times, they used all four of Ms. Pintar and Mr. Nikolić’s cadaver dogs: Panda, Mali, a third Belgian Malinois and a German shepherd. They worked them on both known and double-blind searches, in areas where nobody knew if tombs were located.

The dogs located four tombs new to the archaeologists. Dr. Glavaš had suspected that a fifth site might hold a burial chest, and the dogs’ alerts, combined with excavation, proved her suspicion correct.

In September 2019, the Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory published the results of their study: “This research has demonstrated that HRD dogs are able to detect very small amounts of specific human decomposition odor as well as to indicate to considerably older burials than previously assumed,” Dr. Glavaš and Ms. Pintar wrote.

Dr. Schoon, who researches and helps create protocols to train scent-detection animals worldwide, said the Iron Age necropolis study was nicely designed and “really controlled.”

Archaeological cold cases

Panda and Mali aren’t the only dogs in the world that have helped locate human archaeological remains. In the United States, human remains detection dogs have aided discoveries at a variety of Native American sites, some badly damaged by looters and earlier generations of archaeologists with less ethical approaches to excavation, as well as by development and agriculture.

Paul Martin, a dog handler and trainer in Tennessee who is finishing his doctorate in earth sciences and geoarchaeology at the University of Memphis, has studied using dogs to find older remains for nearly two decades, demonstrating their capabilities at some of the large earthen mounds across the eastern United States that were once surrounded by flourishing Native American cities and villages.

His curiosity was piqued in 2002. Mr. Martin and his trained search dog were helping look for a murder victim in a Mississippi county where an informant said the victim was buried on “an old Indian mound.” The dog started showing intense interest at the mound, and Mr. Martin suspected that it wasn’t the more recent murder that held the dog’s attention.

He spoke with John Sullivan, then a state archaeologist at Winterville Mounds near Greenville, Miss. Mr. Sullivan was curious, too: “Paul asked me if dogs would pick up old stuff and I said, ‘Only one way to find out.’”

Mr. Martin started inviting experienced cadaver dogs and handlers to train on and near intact mounds. For years, they recorded dogs’ alerts on mounds in two areas of Mississippi, and even in fields nearby, where earlier mounds were probably flattened.

But getting funding and permission to do excavations is difficult. The alerts remained unconfirmed. Nonetheless, nature sometimes kicks out some free clues. That’s what happened on Mound H in Winterville, Miss., in 2006.

Rodents provided “ground-truthing,” or confirming evidence, free of charge by digging new burrows and displacing what had been hidden for centuries. Just downhill from where a number of human remains detection dogs had alerted during earlier training, “we actually saw a trail of bone coming down the side of the mound,” Mr. Martin said.

A forensic anthropologist confirmed the bones were human, including a child’s scapula. Mr. Sullivan believes they come from the last burials at the site, and date to around 1450 A.D.

Cadaver dogs are also helping archaeologists at some especially challenging sites. Mike Russo and Jeff Shanks, archaeologists with the National Park Service’s Southeast Archeological Center, had created at least 14 test holes near a promising site in northwest Florida that had been flattened during an earlier era of less diligent archaeology. They found nothing.

“We knew where it should be, but when we went there, there was absolutely no mound,” Mr. Russo said.

They then asked Suzi Goodhope, a longtime cadaver-dog handler in Florida, to bring her experienced detection dog, Shiraz, a Belgian Malinois, to the site in 2013. Shiraz and Ms. Goodhope worked the flat, brushy area for a long time. Then, Shiraz sat. Once.

“I was pretty skeptical,” Mr. Shanks said.

Nonetheless, the archaeologists dug. And dug. They went down nearly three feet — and there they found a human toe bone more than 1,300 years old.

Passing sniff tests

What is the future of using human-remains detection dogs as a noninvasive tool in archaeology?

Some archaeologists, forensic anthropologists, geologists, scientists — and even H.R.D. dog handlers who know how challenging the work is — say they have great potential. But challenges abound.

Although researchers are learning ever more about the canine olfactory system, they are still trying to pinpoint what volatile organic compounds in human remains are significant to trained dogs.

It’s also unclear what concentration of human remains a trained dog can detect, and which aspects of a given environment help retain the scent.

Ms. Pintar and Dr. Glavaš speculate that at the site in Croatia used in their study, the porous and cracked limestone on the ridge might play a role in the longevity of the scent there. Perhaps the mountain itself — used as the base of each burial chest — held on to the scent for thousands of years. But more research will need to be completed to confirm these findings.

Detection dogs also must be trained for archaeology with more consistency. Often humans are the limiting factor. Sometimes, Dr. Schoon said, she can almost see a dog thinking, “Is that all you want me to do? I can do much more!”

And dogs are only a complement to more standard archaeological tools, Mr. Martin noted. The best results come when good human-remains detection dog teams are combined with ground-penetrating radar, geophysical surveys and historical information, and — when feasible or desirable — confirmed with soil tests or excavation.

But more archaeologists around the world are taking note of detection dogs’ potential. Ms. Goodhope has continued working with park service archaeologists on lost slave cemeteries, Civil War sites and other early Native American sites. And Mr. Sullivan, now with the federal Bureau of Land Management, continues to work with dogs and handlers to locate, and avoid the destruction of, Native American sites.

Since Ms. Pintar and Dr. Glavaš’s Croatia study was published last year, several European and Croatian archaeologists have asked them for help in identifying sites, too.

As for the Iron Age necropolis high on the rocky ridge at Drvišica? Dr. Glavaš said she doesn’t intend to return to excavate there.

“Something has to be left for future archaeologists.”

Everything We Know About Meghan Markle & Prince Harry’s Royal Baby

On the morning of October 15, Kensington Palace dropped some major news: Meghan Markle is pregnant. It was a big announcement, and it left us asking a lot of unanswered questions. Will the Royal Baby share a birthday with its royal cousin? Will the Royal Baby be a Prince or a Princess? A Lady or a Lord? And perhaps most importantly: can the Royal Baby be both the reigning monarch and President of the United States?

It’ll likely be a while before the palace issues another official statement, so the guessing game begins now. While we patiently wait, here’s everything we know (and everything we think we know) about the Royal Baby, from the expected title to a mock-image of what he or she might look like.

When will the Royal Baby be born?

Here is the one bit of information we do have: “Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the Spring of 2019,” the palace said in a statement. And if that official news isn’t specific enough, you can head to US Weekly, where a source close to the royals has shared that the Duchess is exactly 15 weeks along. “She is due on or around May 2nd,” the insider says.

As the most detail-oriented royal fans have already noted, Prince William and Duchess Kate’s 3-year-old daughter, Princess Charlotte, was born on May 2. So yes, we’re already hoping for a joint cousin birthday celebration on Buckingham Palace grounds. There better be a jumpy castle.

Will the Royal Baby be a boy or girl?

We don’t yet know the gender of the baby—and Meghan Markle’s doctors likely probably don’t know either. It’s only possible to know a baby’s sex at around 16-20 weeks, and as mentioned above Markle is 15 weeks. But science be damned, because the bookies are already placing bets. According to Ladbrokes, current odds are 10/11 that Harry and Meghan’s baby will be a boy, and evens that it will be a girl. I have no idea what they means, but I’m guessing there’s a 50/50 shot.

What will they name the Royal Baby?

Yes, we’re mere hours post-pregnancy announcement and already bookies have set odds on what Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s first child will be named. Katie Baylis, spokesperson for betting website Betfair, spoke to Express about the odds, saying, “At this stage Diana, Arthur and Alice, which was favourite at different stages for Kate and William’s babies, are the 12/1 front runners. However, with months until the baby is born, those odds will shorten, change and other names will come to the forefront, so watch this space.”

The last name of the unborn child, however, is something that’s a little more certain. Like the Queen’s other great-grandchildren, the next royal baby will likely use the surname Mountbatten-Windsor, The Independent reports.

Will the Royal Baby ever rule Britain?

It’s unlikely, but not impossible. Prince Harry is currently sixth in line for the throne, meaning his children will fall directly beneath him. Here’s where the new Royal Baby will fit in the order of succession: Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Prince Harry, Markle and Prince Harry’s unborn child. All Sussex baby additions to the royal family will bump back Prince Andrew, Queen Elizabeth II’s second son, and knock his daughters, Princess Beatrice and the newly-married Princess Eugenie, further down the line.

What will the Royal Baby’s title be?

This one is a little complicated, and it’s all because of a Letters Patent passed in 1917 by King George V, which decreed that: “the grandchildren of the sons of any such Sovereign in the direct male line (save only the eldest living son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales) shall have and enjoy in all occasions the style and title enjoyed by the children of Dukes of these Our Realms.”

Did you catch that? Here’s the CliffNotes version: only the eldest grandson (that’s Prince George) of the reigning monarch (that’s Queen Elizabeth) should receive the HRH title. However, in 2012, the Queen issued a Letters Patent of her own that declared “all the children of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales should have and enjoy the style, title and attribute of royal highness with the titular dignity of Prince or Princess prefixed to their Christian names or with such other titles of honour.” This is why Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have their titles—and why there’s a chance the monarch could make the same exception with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children. If the Queen doesn’t step in, the child will hold the title Lord or Lady.

Could the Royal Baby be elected President of the United States?

Here’s an interesting one. Before the American actress and British royal were even married, Twitter user @GPollowitz shared this forward-thinking revelation in a viral tweet:

Prince Harry's kids will be Americans. What if one grows up to be president and is in line for the throne at the same time? Brits are playing long-ball here, but it's a smart move. They want America back and this is how they'll do it.

— Greg Pollowitz (@GPollowitz) November 27, 2017

Let’s break it down. A spokesperson for Kensington Palace confirmed to CNN that Markle will be becoming a British citizen, but added it was “too early to say” if she would retain dual nationality. If she chooses not to renounce her U.S. citizenship and remains a U.S. national, her children will have dual nationality. Which means that yes, they will have the opportunity to run for President of the United States. At 15 weeks old, the expectations for this little royal are being set very high.

What will the Royal Baby look like?

Alright, this might be the longest shot of all. But if you want all the information, we’re going to give it to you. American forensic artist Joe Mullins studied photographs of Markle and Prince Harry and created mock-up baby images for The Sun. Take a look.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY

Questions included in web quizzing are marked in bold

Chapter Outline

I. Introduction

A. Hominins are members of the family Hominidae, which includes our own species, and are distinguished by habitually walking bipedally.

1. The 3.7 million year old footprints at the ancient savanna site of Laetoli, as well as numerous fossil discoveries in Africa, are clear evidence of bipedalism. The footprints in what is now Tanzania in eastern Africa indicate the presence of Australopithecus afarensis.

2. The foot prints at the moon and the Laetoli footprints both represent humankind’s place in nature.

3. Homo sapiens are the result of the same evolutionary forces that produced all other life forms on this planet.

B. Physical anthropology, or biological, anthropology is a scientific discipline concerned with the biological and behavioral characteristics of human beings, as well as our closest relatives, the nonhuman primates (apes, monkeys, tarsiers, lemurs and lorises, and their ancestors.

1. Evolution may be defined as a change in the genetic structure of a population. The term is also frequently used to refer to the appearance of a new species.

a. Evolution can be studied at the microevolutionary or macroevolutionary level.

II. The Human Connection

A. Many aspects of human behavior have direct connections to nonhuman species, especially other primates.

1. There is a biological continuum wherein our behavior has direct connections to nonhuman species, especially other primates.

III. Biocultural Evolution

A. Biological anthropologists are involved primarily in the study of biological systems, yet the role of culture must also be considered.

1. Culture is the strategy by which humans adapt to the natural environment.

2. Culture has assumed an increasingly greater role throughout the course of human evolution and has interacted with biological evolution.

3. Each culture shapes people’s perceptions of the external environment, or worldview.

4. Culture is learned and not genetically determined, yet the predisposition is profoundly influenced by biological factors. The mutual, interactions between biology and culture is biocultural evolution.

IV. What is Anthropology?

A. Anthropology is the study of humankind.

1. In the United States, and some Canadian Universities, anthropology is divided into the following subfields.

a. Cultural (or social) anthropology

b. Archaeology

c. Physical (or biological) anthropology

d. Linguistic Anthropology

e. Applied Anthropology refers to practical applications of each of these subfields

V. Cultural Anthropology is the study of the patterns of belief and behavior found in modern and historical cultures.

A. Early anthropologists concentrated on producing ethnographies, but later broadened their scope to include anthropologists’ own cultures and the people around them.

B. Ethnographic techniques are now used to study diverse subcultures and their interactions with one another in contemporary metropolitan areas (urban anthropology.)

1. Cultural anthropologists are concerned with the welfare of refugees and the study of their resettlement and cultural integration (or lack thereof.).

VI. Archaeology is the study of earlier cultures and lifeways by anthropologists who specialize in the scientific recovery, analysis, and interpretation of the material remains of past societies.

A. The primary sources of information are artifacts and other material culture.

B. Inquiry may reflect interest in broad issues, e.g. the development of agriculture or the rise of cities.

VII. Linguistic Anthropology is the study of human speech and language, including its origins.

A. Linguists examine similarities between contemporary languages to trace historical ties between languages and groups of languages.

B. The spontaneous acquisition and use of language is a uniquely human characteristic.

1. Linguistic anthropologists are interested in the process of language acquisition and its implications for tracing the evolution of language.

VIII. Physical Anthropology is the study of human biology within an evolutionary framework with emphasis on interaction between biology and culture.

A. Physical anthropology and biological anthropology are synonymous.

1. The use of the term biological anthropology reflects a shift towards genetics, evolutionary biology, nutrition, adaptation, and growth and development through advances in genetics.

2. Origins date back to 19th century “natural historians” who questioned the validity of the Bible (most significantly Charles Darwin).

B. Paleoanthropology is the subfield concerned with the study of anatomical and behavioral human evolution as revealed in the fossil record.

1. Paleoanthropologists identify fossil hominin species and their evolutionary relationships and attempt to reconstruct their adaptations and behaviors.

C. Human Variation was a major area of interest for early biological anthropologists.

1. Mainly concerned with the most obvious observable physical difference, skin color, body proportions and shape of the head and face.

2. Today, human variation offers adaptive significance in genetic factors of variation.

3. Biological variation among populations provides valuable information about the mechanisms of genetic change.

4. Nutritional anthropologists study relationships between various dietary components, cultural practices, physiology, and aspects of health and disease.

5. Molecular anthropologists investigate evolutionary relationships between human populations and nonhuman primates using similarities and differences in DNA.

D. Osteology is the subfield concerned with the study of the skeleton. Knowledge of the structure and function of the skeletal system is crucial for understanding the fossil record, and it forms the foundation for the analysis of archaeologically derived human skeletal materials.

E. Bioarchaeology refers to the study of human skeletal remains from archaeological sites.

F. Paleopathology focuses on the analysis of skeletal samples, noting the incidence of trauma, disease, nutritional deficiency, and any other pathological condition that leaves traces on bones.

G. Forensic anthropology is the application of archaeological and osteological techniques to legall issues.

1. Forensic anthropologists help identify and analyze skeletal remains that have legal significance.

b. They also aid in the identification of remains after mass disasters; the identification of the September 11 terrorist attack victims is a recent example.

H. Anatomy is an important area of interest; a thorough knowledge of soft tissue anatomy is essential to understanding the biomechanical relationships involved in movement.

H. Primatology is the subfield concerned with the study of nonhuman primate social behavior, ecology, and adaptation.

IX. Applied Anthropology

A. Applied anthropology is aimed at the practical application of anthropological theories and methods outside the academic setting, yet it includes both academic and applied methods.

1. Forensic anthropologists are a good example of the applied approach.

B. Applied approaches in biological anthropology are numerous.

X. Physical Anthropology and the Scientific Method

A. Science is a method for gaining information to explain natural phenomena.

1. A hypothesis is defined as a provisional statement of a phenomenon following initial data collection and careful observations.

2. The hypothesis must be tested through additional quantitative data collection and analysis. The goal is to reject the hypothesis through empirical research.

a. If the hypothesis cannot be falsified through rigorous testing, then it rises to the level of a theory; a broad statement of scientific relationships substantiated through hypothesis testing.

(i) Theories are not absolute truths, since they may be disproved in light of new empirical evidence.

(ii) Theories are not facts but tested explanations of facts.

3. Scientific Testing refers to the precise repetition of an experiment or expansion of observed data to provide verification; the procedure by which hypotheses and theories are verified, modified, or discarded.

a. Any proposition that is stated as absolute and/or doesn’t allow the possibility of falsification is not a scientific hypothesis.

XI. The Anthropological Perspective

A. The anthropological perspective stresses that human beings can only be understood by broadening our perspectives over space and through time.

1. Extending our knowledge to include cultures other than our own, we hope to avoid the ethnocentric bias.

2. In a relativistic view of culture, anthropologists seek information from as many different cultures in as many different ecological circumstances as possible (broadening perspective over space) as we become an increasingly interdependent global community.

Lecture Suggestions

1. Discuss any previous knowledge students had about anthropologists and how this changed after reading this chapter. Discuss how these concepts can be applied to the understating of what it means to be human.

2. Describe your own research interests and show slides or images associated with your work.

3. Explore the concept of culture as an adaptive strategy. What strategy does the student consider to be the most important in his/her own life?

4. Ask students to define culture in their own words. Compare students’ definitions to suggest ways culture may have influenced how people regard themselves and their culture.

5. Compare and contrast biology and culture. Choose examples of how culture is learned, and therefore can change rapidly. Then choose examples of biological adaptation, to show that genetic change cannot occur as rapidly.

6. Discuss the rate of cultural change today compared to 100 years ago, 10,000 years ago, and 1 million years ago.

7. Expand the discussion of the scientific method. Explore how most people tend to generalize from isolated events and anecdotal information. Point out that this approach differs significantly from that of data collection and hypothesis testing. Emphasize that there are many sources of so-called facts, including those found on the Internet. Point out that people who do not have adequate scientific backgrounds author some human evolution websites.

8. Explore the differences between objective and subjective data. Suggest that students track the information they receive in one hour, noting whether the information is subjective or objective.

9. Compare the ethnocentric and relativistic viewpoints by presenting a “shocking” situation or experience to the students. Have the students discuss why the “shock” may be due to ethnocentricism.
