 HISTORICAL
HUMAN REMAINS DETECTION DOGS
Using dogs to help locate historical and archaeological graves
is a new concept. The dogs are trained to be slow, methodical and
keep the nose just above the surface of the ground; any fast moves
and the dog can miss a grave. It takes many years of slow and patient
training to develop the skills needed to do this work... |

 SANTA
BARBARA PRESIDIO - 2008
On Sunday, September
7, 2008, the Santa Barbara Presidio will be visited by several four-footed
graduates of the Institute for Canine Forensics. For some time,
the Institute has been sending out teams of these specially trained
dogs to help officials search for long-missing persons at such places
as the World Trade Center in New York, the site of the Space Shuttle
Columbia disaster, the Loma Prieta and Mexico City Earthquakes,
the Oakland Firestorm, and the Oklahoma City bombing site. But,
the use of these remarkable human remains detection (HRD) dogs has
become very specialized and is one of the most promising recent
tools available to archaeologists.
