Preferred term

pet cemeteries  

Definition

  • It has often been observed that most of what we know of early civilizations is based on their funerary artifacts. One wonders what inferences will be made by archaeologists in the future when discovering hundreds of pet cemeteries from early 21st-century America, some with owners interred next to their animals.
