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.
