A case of bone fracture with callus on the right femur of a chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus, L. 1758) from the ancient site of Dharih, Jordan
Abstract : Archaeozoology provides bones, which quite regularly present traces of fractures. These fractures are more or
less at an advanced level of healing and bear witness to traumas or pathologies. These cases of palaeopathology
are not always the subject of publications, which further restricts our knowledge about them. This short note
allows the scientific community to be aware of an original case from an archaeological context in Jordan of a
fracture on a hen’s femur, consolidated by a callus and with displacement of the distal ends. Beyond the "anecdotal"
aspect, and without imagining the circumstances in which the fracture occurred, the animal survived.
