Dear Zohar and others,

There is one example of male chicken buried in a pot as far North as Finland, dating to local Late Iron Age (11-12^th century). Published so far only in Finnish I am afraid:

Bläuer, Auli & Hukantaival, Sonja 2013. Erikoisia kanalöytöjä rautakauden Pirkkalasta: uhrikukko ja Nilkku-Lotta. Suomalaisen maatiaiskanan säilytysohjelman tiedote 1/2013.

Best wishes,

Auli

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,
