Reply to comment by irkli in Bones of ancient native dogs found at Jamestown by irkli
Americans tend to be historically challenged so to most the people I know 400 years ago is 'ancient.' Have to write for your audience I guess. A friend had his editor review what he wrote and was told to dumb it down to a 5th grade reading level. Then there's the old saw that compares years and miles/Kms in other places vs the US.

The dogs went extinct 400 years ago. They existed prior to that. The breed itself is ancient, not the bones.
