So cool. Thanks for highlighting this collaborative research! There was an article (1920s) in the old natural history magazine Nature about them. That’s where I first learned about them.
Unfortunately the woolly dog blanket isn't on display. I was lucky enough to see it in their storage area. No idea if they plan on putting it on display.
That’s a bit disappointing, but I need to go to the Burke museum anyway. I wish they could take a page from the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver, BC., where items not in an exhibit are still on display behind glass walls, and they are numbered. The visitor only has to look up the number in their computer to get a full explanation. It’s not a close up view, but you don’t have to wait years to see something in an exhibition.

I don't think I've seen that article. I'll have to seek it out. Thx.
This is fascinating! I always wondered about why the dogs would have gone extinct. Wouldn't it be possible to clone a wooly dog from existing DNA?
No clue about cloning but you never know.
Great article. So interesting to see how a point of view can change interpretive results. I must make plans to see the Burke museum!

Love this article. But for my kitty loving friends, I am thinking our Native Americans only had the dogs not kitties.
I think I have a pdf. I’ll check
