Dear All, I am in the process of preparing a paper on the appearance of the chicken in the Middle East. I have all thee references in the West-Zhou article, the 1998 article by Lentacker-Wim Van Neer, and the 2001 article by Howell-Meur. Does anyone have any additional articcles I should know about? Does anyone have any unplublished occurrences that I might reference? Thanks, Richard Redding Museum of Anthropology University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104 [log in to unmask]
