Lovely to see work done by @uoearchhist.bsky.social students in SHArD 3D out in the wild! Non-destructive microCT imaging of chicken bones at Fishbourne🐣
🥚🐓OFFICIAL EASTER POST!🐓🥚
Shortly before laying an egg, female birds grow a layer of bone in their skeletons, called medullary bone.
About 65% of bones at the Palace have medullary, so we're pretty sure Chickens were being kept at Fishbourne for egg production.
