Two “military” burials of the Sambian-Natangian culture are considered — Dollkeim-Kovrovo No. 269 and Kleinheide-Guryevsk No. 21 of the Great Migration Period, where there are burials of dogs. Burials with dogs in the early Middle Ages were widespread in the Germanic area, but extremely rarely found among the Balts. Apparently in Sambia, their appearance is associated with the influence of the funerary customs of the Germans, most likely from Central Europe. It is possible that these customs reflect military rituals associated with warriors-werewolves (wolves/dogs)
