MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF FILL FROM TWO HISTORIC PRIVIES AT SITE AZ X:6:70(ASM), YUMA MAIN STREET WATER TREATMENT PLANT, ARIZONA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 1996

Summary

Four samples from a probable privy (Feature 201) and four samples from a

possible privy/trash pit (Feature 102) at Site AZ X:6:70 (ASM) were examined for

macrofloral remains. These features were discovered at the Yuma Main Street

Water Treatment Plant in Yuma, Arizona, and may be associated with early

residences that were noted in the area. The features were filled with artifacts

that date from the late 1800s to early 1900s. Macrofloral analysis is used to

provide evidence of diet, as well as trash discarded in the features.
