• Resumen

  • Since the beginning of its domestication, the dog has lived and followed the human being. The first roles were those of hunter, loyal protector, shepherd, and ultimately the role of pet. In this article we will explore from a bibliographical and historiographical approach 6th-3th century bC in the West Mediterranean; a period plagued with war, conflict, migration and multiple other pressures. It is at that moment that people’s views of the dog started to change giving way to the rise in new rituals, many of them sacrifice-related. We will be comparing the types of rituals performed in selected regions: the Levantine coast in Spain, the Balearic Islands and Sardinia; and will classify these according to not only their differences in meaning, but also the location where they were performed.
