Measurements are in mm. Univariate statistics are presented in the upper register of the table. The test (U) statistics (top right of the lower register) and p-values (bottom left of the lower register) of a non-parametric Mann-Whitney pairwise comparison are presented. Mann-Whitney analysis is commonly used in zooarchaeological studies to test temporal changes to animal bone measurements77, 78. Statistically-significant p-values are highlighted in grey. The null hypothesis, that there is no difference in median tibiotarsus distal breadth measurements over time, can be rejected for chicken bones younger than 1340-1450C.E. Modern broiler tibiotarsi are significantly larger than those from all other periods.
