Existing within the probable time frame of 900 and 1200 CE, the discovery of hundreds of ancient <a href=\"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/species\/scarlet-macaw\/\">scarlet macaw<\/a> skeletons have \u2014 through DNA testing \u2014 alluded to the reality that they were likely bred from a location that pre-dates the known settlement of Paquim\u00e9, now known as Chihuahua in northwest Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the region that was home to the Paquim\u00e9 settlement as early as the period of 1250 CE shows evidence of a breeding facility complete with an extensive array of cages, and small adobe structures to indicate hatcheries. There were other proofs of an established settlement as well. A cave discovered in 2016 housed a collection of cloths, tools, and pottery. In addition to those items, a mummified scarlet macaw was also discovered. Its body indicated that there was likely an earlier established trade system in place. This created a curiosity for scientists, who have already assumed that desirable earlier trade existed within the regions surrounding the discovered settlement.<\/p>\n<h3>Testing Gives A Timeline And Confirms Macaws Are Linked<\/h3>\n<p>With the recovery of hundreds of scarlet macaw bones, a detailed carbon-dated process was undertaken, along with detailed DNA testing. The <a href=\"https:\/\/news.psu.edu\/story\/531169\/2018\/08\/13\/research\/scarlet-macaw-dna-points-ancient-breeding-operation-southwest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">finding<\/a> was that the bones exhibited the same DNA structure, indicating the existence of a breeding facility that pre-dates that of Paquim\u00e9. The carbon dating put the bones at a time of around 900 CE to upward of 1200 CE. Technically, there are five groupings of mitochondrial DNA that easily decide the type of scarlet macaw in question. Of the hundreds of bones tested, they all fit into that single group that pretty much assured they derived from the same collection of birds.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the macaw skeletons have been recovered from the southwest territories of the United States as well as the northwest of Mexico. Applied scientific testing with the fact that the macaws were more than a thousand miles from their typical habitat lends credence to the theory that a robust trade existed in the southwest area of the United States previous to Paquim\u00e9. Yet, no evidence at all has been discovered of the existence of such a facility this close to the U.S. region.<\/p>\n<p>Efforts are currently underway to pinpoint the possible location of the assumed hatchery. This important and fascinating discovery that is still unraveling is being undertaken by a joint effort of several colleges and museums. Researchers from Penn State are the primary researchers on this ongoing project. The findings were submitted in mid-August and supplied to professional scientific journals for establishment of facts and for review purposes.<\/p>\n<p>With continued efforts, we shall all likely soon learn of the discovery of the assumed ancient breeding facility that is currently a buried mystery. With the discovery, more of our history, and that of the scarlet macaw, will become known to us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Archaeologists are uncovering an exciting find on northern Mexico \u2014 an ancient scarlet macaw breeding facility, which may suggest the existence of an ancient bird trade in the southwest area of the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8046,"featured_media":44661,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[171],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-everyday"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A Buried Mystery: Researchers Discover An Ancient Macaw Breeding Facility &#8211;
