Abstract
Dogs are the earliest domesticated animals, which followed man for thousands of years. Their historical diversity and interaction with men is no less interesting than the problem of their origin. The present report covers the subject of canine diversity and interaction with men in Medieval Novgorod the Great (the tenth to the 14th centuries), one of the oldest and most important trading cities in Russia.

Abstract
Single and double-horse burials of second century AD from Samland and Natangen (Kaliningrad region, Russia) are described. All horses were in the good riding age. They bear constitutional similarities with horses from later burials in Germany, Latvia, Lithuania and Scandinavia. Despite their small size, horses were used as riding and most likely were buried with proprietors as afterlife mediators or servants.
