[Aztlan] Precolumbian chickens take a hit

[Katherine Reece]

Just a slight correction to what I wrote earlier below:  there was only one article that addressed both the DNA and the marine carbon.  I do have the article.

'Chicken And Chips' Theory Of Pacific Migration

I'm sure eveyone remembers the bones of chickens that were found in Chile 
and announced last year as Precolumbian (I had read elsewhere that the bones 
only represent 5 birds).  I understand there's another paper (although maybe 
not published in the same issue) that also questions the dating results 
saying that it was uncorrected for marine carbon bias.
