Grice's legacy remains in the wild bulb Scilla verna, known locally as "grice's onions" because it was a favourite food of the swine. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] In 2006, curators at the Shetland Museum and Archives commissioned a taxidermist to recreate a grice from the stuffed body of an immature wild boar .
This rice mill and rice barn are associated with Milldam, one of several productive rice plantations on the Santee River. Agricultural features include examples of historic ricefields, including canals, dikes (including remnants of a dike hand-built by slaves) and trunks. The Rice Barn was destroyed by Hurricane Hugo in 1989. [2] [3]
Four species of rice that form the genus Zizania, commonly known as wild rice are native to and cultivated in North America, where the grain is used, as well as in China, where the plant's stem is used as a vegetable. Wild rice and domesticated rice (Oryza sativa and Oryxa glaberrima) belong to the same botanical tribe, Oryzeae.
Mares carry their young (called foals) for approximately 11 months from conception to birth. (Average range 320–370 days.) [2] Usually just one young is born; twins are rare. When a domesticated mare foals, she nurses the foal for at least four to six months before it is weaned, though mares in the wild may allow a foal to nurse for up to a year.

A carbon-14 date on a premolar of the unknown species dates domesticated pigs at ca. 2500-2200 cal BC. Faunal remains of predominantly wild pig were found at the Nagsabaran site, indicating that hunting was the primary subsistence strategy during the Neolithic and Iron Age and pigs were not domesticated for the sole purpose of subsistence.

West Point Rice Mill is a former rice mill building in Charleston, South Carolina. It is at the City Marina at 17 Lockwood Drive.

Rice was also independently domesticated in West Africa and cultivated by 1000 BC. [8] [9] Pigs were domesticated in Mesopotamia around 11,000 years ago, followed by sheep. Cattle were domesticated from the wild aurochs in the areas of modern Turkey and India around 8500 BC. Camels were domesticated late, perhaps around 3000 BC.
