Chickens + Archaeology + Science = Glastonbury!
In just over two weeks time two of the Bournemouth based members of the Chicken Project are off to Glastonbury festival!
We will be running a stand in the Green Futures Field’s Science Tent to explore the process of domestication, the spread of chicken across the world and the changes that have occurred skeletally, genetically and behaviourally as a result. Visit http://www.sciculture.ac.uk/hen-pecked-the-bird-that-conquered-the-world/ for more information on how chickens and science go hand-in-hand. If you are at Glastonbury, come and visit us! There will be bones and artefacts to handle, interactive charting to engage with, historical recipes, links to modern poultry keeping, and much more!
