POLLEN, PARASITE, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF PRIVY FILL FROM THE 2ND LOS PINOS INDIAN AGENCY (5OR139EAST), COLORADO

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2002

Summary

Privy fill from the 2nd Los Pinos Indian Agency (5OR139East) near Montrose, Colorado, was

examined for pollen, parasites, and macrofloral remains to identify elements of the diet and

parasites present. This privy is believed to be associated with the mess house at the Indian

Agency, which operated from 1875 to 1881. Pollen and macrofloral analysis of the privy fill will be

used to provide information concerning foods eaten and trash disposed of by the privy users.

Parasite analysis will lend insight into the health of the historic occupants and visitors to the

agency.
