EXPLORATORY POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF A PRIVY AT SITE 13LE442, IOWA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman

Year: 1996

Summary

Pollen and macrofloral analyses were undertaken to identify elements of the historic diet

recorded in a privy at the Dover village site (13LE442) in southeast Iowa. Parasite analysis

yields evidence of parasite loads for users of this privy. The privy is believed to be associated

with a general store that operated on this site from around 1840-1870 until approximately the

turn of the century. Manufacturing dates for glass bottles recovered from the privy deposits

indicate that the privy was used between 1861 and 1873.
