Dog Vertebra (DB8B.2vL1)

Dog Vertebra Location: Broad Reach site (31CR218), Carteret County, North Carolina. Period: Middle to Late Woodland, Hanover and White Oak phases (ca. AD 200-1500). Material: dog bone (lumbar vertebra). Dimensions: body length, 25.1; body width, 19.5; body height, 13.0 mm; greatest height, 39.2.* Notes: First lumbar vertebra from a domestic dog (Canis familiaris) exhibiting a bent spinous process and irregular spinous process tuberosity, pathological changes that may have resulted from hauling heavy loads on the back. This vertebra is from Dog Burial 8B, an older adult female dog, excavated in 2006 by TRC, Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

犬椎骨标本详情：
出土遗址：北卡罗来纳州卡特里特县Broad Reach遗址（编号31CR218）
年代：伍德兰期中期至晚期，对应Hanover与White Oak文化期（约公元200年至1500年）
材质：家犬腰椎骨
尺寸：椎体长25.1毫米、椎体宽19.5毫米、椎体高13.0毫米，最大高度39.2毫米。*
备注：该标本为家犬（Canis familiaris）的第一腰椎（lumbar vertebra），其棘突（spinous process）弯曲且棘突结节（spinous process tuberosity）形态不规则，这类病理改变可能源于长期背负重物所致。该椎骨出土于犬类墓葬8B，墓主为一只老年雌性家犬，2006年由北卡罗来纳州教堂山的TRC团队发掘。
