“…It took almost 1000 years longer for chickens to become established in the colder climates of Scotland, Ireland, Scandinavia and Iceland (Best 2014; Best & Mulville 2014; Sykes 2018; Walker & Meijer 2020). Our direct dates also support the suggestion that chickens were not introduced to the Scottish Isles until the Norse arrivals, from c .…”

Little is known about the early history of the chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus), including the timing and circumstances of its introduction into new cultural environments. To evaluate its spatio-temporal spread across Eurasia and north-west Africa, the authors radiocarbon dated 23 chicken bones from presumed early contexts. Three-quarters returned dates later than those suggested by stratigraphy, indicating the importance of direct dating. The results indicate that chickens did not arrive in Europe until the first millennium BC. Moreover, a consistent time-lag between the introduction of chickens and their consumption by humans suggests that these animals were initially regarded as exotica and only several centuries later recognised as a source of ‘food’.

Статья посвящена анализу современного состояния изученности кремационных погребений Юго-Западного и Южного Крыма первой половины I тыс. н. э. Первоначально в работе приводятся сведения о дискуссии в научной литературе по вопросам происхождения, этнической интерпретации и хронологии обряда кремации в указанных регионах. Рассматриваются две отчасти противоположные концепции относительно происхождения этого обряда. Первая основывается на миграционной теории появления кремаций не ранее середины III в. и связывается с кругом мигрантов – германских (славянских, с точки зрения некоторых исследователей) племен. В соответствии со второй концепцией, кремационные погребения характерны для местного населения, попавшего под влияние римской традиции из Херсонеса. Далее в статье обсуждаются новейшие открытия кремационных захоронений Юго-Западного и Южного Крыма. Подчеркивается, что новые данные могут уточнить сложившееся представление о характере возникновения этого обряда в регионе. Полученные за последние годы материалы поднимают вопрос о необходимости новой типологии кремационных погребений, уточнения дат и культурно-исторического контекста каждого из типов. The paper analyzes the current state of knowledge on cremation graves in the southwestern and southern Crimea dating to the first half of the first millennium AD. The paper reports on the discussion concerning the issues of the origin, ethnic interpretation and chronology of the cremation rite in the studied regions. It reviews two partially opposite concepts relating to the origin of this rite. The first concept is based on the mi gration theory according to which cremations did not appear until the middle of the third century and are linked to migrants such as Germanic (Slavic as some researchers believe) populations. The second concept states that cremation graves are characteristic of the local population which was influenced by the Roman tradition from Chersoneses. The paper also provides an overview of the latest discoveries of cremation graves in the southwestern and southern Crimea. It emphasizes that the new data can provide an opportunity to clarify our knowledge on when and how this rite appeared in the region. The data obtained in recent years bring up an issue of a need to have a new typology of cremation graves, clarify the dates and the cultural and historical context of each type of such graves.

Gamefowl owners and cockfighters have a variety of ways to tell whether a gamefowl is battle-ready or not. One of these is through the condition of the gamefowl droppings. A dropping that is not too wet and not too dry indicates that the gamefowl is at its peak condition. This paper presents an image processing based gamefowl dropping's color composition system that aims to recognize a dropping from a peaked gamefowl. This system will make use of a recognition algorithm and a color composition algorithm (using RGB) to solve the problems encountered using the manual method of dropping monitoring. Different samples were used to verify the system's accuracy and based on the analysis, the system was able to get a success rate of 100%. This shows that the system is fully functional and effective in providing a solution to solve the common problem of gamefowl owners and cockfighters.
