New evidence reveals a millennium-old dingo was ritually buried, and cared for, along the Darling (Baaka) River in Australia

A millennium-old dingo deliberately buried by Barkindji ancestors in Australia, is offering rare insight into the depth of relationships between First Nations people and dingoes. The dingo appears to have been buried with great care in a purpose‑built midden, which continued to be tended and “fed” with river mussel shells for centuries, suggesting an ongoing relationship between the buried dingo and local people. This is believed to be the first time this “feeding” practice has been observed archaeologically anywhere in the world.
