Iron age dog 2k years old unearthed guarding ancient treasure

Canine remains: A two thousand year old guard dog has been unearthed that was sacrificed and buried to protect the Hallaton Treasure in Leicestershire

It is believed an ancient tribe, the Corieltauvi, who lived in Britain before the Roman conquest, killed then buried the dog between AD1 and AD50 so its spirit could protect the stockpile.
