Stonehenge dog tooth reveals earliest journey

The Newsroom

Available for over a year

A dog has been confirmed as the earliest recorded visitor to the site of Britain's Stonehenge. Analysis of its remains - a tooth - shows that the dog, and by implication its owner, trekked to Wiltshire in southern England from Yorkshire several hundred kilometres away. We spoke to the archaeologist Professor David Jacques, who led the dig, in Blick Mead - just outside Stonehenge. (Photo: The tooth of an Alsatian dog discovered close to Stonehenge. Credit: PA)
