Abstract excerpt

Very little is known about the origins and history of domestic chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) in northern Europe due to a lack of existing documentary and ancient DNA evidence from this region. Therefore, we conducted ancient DNA analyses and radiocarbon dating of archaeological chicken bones from the Baltic Sea region (Finland, Estonia, and Lithuania). We sequenced a 201-bp long fragment of the...
