Specially trained dogs to be used in Port Angeles archaeological survey (Washington)
The city's archaeologist, Derek Beery, intends to employ specially trained dogs to sniff for human remains at least a century old for his ongoing waterfront archaeological survey.
He is drafting requests for proposals for dogs and handlers schooled in "canine forensics," he said.
"Historical human remains detection dogs" are specially trained to detect buried remains more than 100 years old, said Adela Morris, founder and president of the Institute for Canine Forensics, a Woodside, Calif.-based nonprofit organization founded in 1989.
The canines would trot and sniff through Beery's 872-acre archaeological survey study area -- a three-mile stretch from Ediz Hook up to and including the site of the former Rayonier pulp mill.
