🏆The Ben Cullen Prize for 2023 is awarded to Julia Best & (many!) colleagues for their @AntiquityJ article on the timing of the introduction of #chickens to Europe and NW Africa. Those bones are later than you think... Congratulations to all! 🎉

🦴 An international team of researchers employed radiocarbon dating on bones from 2️⃣3️⃣ of the earliest claimed chickens. This is the first time a programme of direct dating has been systematically applied to them. More on our website ➡️ go.cf.ac.uk/3xdh37e

🐔 Chickens were introduced to Britain, mainland Europe, & North Africa later than previously thought & were primarily regarded as exotica not food, new research from @CUHistArchRel suggests. 🎥 Lecturer in bioarchaeology Dr Julia Best - @estalwin - discusses the findings.

@cardiffuni @CUHistArchRel If you want to learn more about these wonderful chickens, both of our new papers are open access (free!) and can be found in Antiquity (bit.ly/3NrDPPT) and PNAS (bit.ly/3x794ZD). Here you can see that Iron Age hen and her injured leg (second bone from the right)

One of my personal favourites just by its exquisite writing style... "Of 23 “ancient” chicken bones in Europe that the team retested, only five were consistent with their reported stratigraphic layers, the authors cluck-cluck." haaretz.com/archaeology/20…
