In this chapter, we apply a landscape framework to our paleopathological and osteological analysis of canids recovered from 5MTUMR 2347, an Ancestral Pueblo site located in Mancos Canyon, Colorado, to explore the roles that dogs filled during and after life in Ancestral Pueblo communities. While previous analyses suggested these dogs were used as a secondary food source and had ritual significance, our approach finds that their different life histories (despite similar burial contexts) reflects the multiple roles played by dogs in the Ancestral Pueblo world. These findings highlight the ways in which the analysis of archaeological dog remains can be used to support indigenous communities in the present day.
