ArchaeoEd, S3E8, Dogs in the Ancient Americas


 Episode 3.8 - Ancient American Drugs

In this episode I'll ask the age old question - who's a good dog?   Dogs were man's best friend in Americas for 1000's of years, from Alaska to the tip of Chile.  They were pets, cargo haulers, hunting companions, guides to the afterlife, and at times, food.  Join me as I discuss what I know about dogs in the ancient Americas.

Ancient Americans consumed a number of plants that Western society now view as "drugs".  But to the ancients, they weren't just plants.  They had spirits that could give them strength and aid them to reach an altered state of consciousness through which to interact with the supernatural otherworld.
