This is a collection of Indian Dog bones from the 17th- 18th century from Merrick County, Nebraska, USA. They are from two midden mounds on the Loup River near St. Paul, NE. This site is called the Lower Loup People of proto-Pawnee. Since there was no evidence of horses at the site, and the Pawnee had horses by 1700- 1720, this means this material most likely dates to the 1600\'s. The Indian dog is now considered extinct as shown by DNA evidence.

As seen in the pictures, this collection includes an excellent lower jaw, part of a front top maxilla, an atlas, an axis, various teeth including canine and carnassials, two sets offoot digitsincluding claw cores, a really nice middle vertebra, an incomplete lower jaw, a rib, more foot digits, a beaver tooth, and a radius/ulna set. A rare chance to get associated material from this hard to collect mammal. Great for Native American collections as well.
