Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Thomas E. Moutoux

Year: 1997

Summary

Ten combined pollen and parasite samples representing ten separate outhouses in Block 73 of Historic Phoenix were examined. The first building was constructed in 1883 and the outhouse samples represent depositions between 1883 and 1915. Pollen analysis was undertaken to learn about foods consumed and landscaping in the vicinity of these outhouses. These samples were examined for evidence of parasite eggs to address questions of health and hygiene.
