Dear Zooarchs,
I'm currently working on a report dealing with a small faunal assemblage dated to the Othmanic period in central Israel.
At the site, the excavators found a complete yang rooster placed in a jug and buried.
I haven't found any references or mentions of this sort of find.
If any of you ever encountered one I will appreciate hearing about it.

All the best,
