POLLEN/STARCH, PHYTOLlTH, PARASITE, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FOR THE PARKING LOT C, PROPOSED FEDERAL COURTHOUSE COMPLEX PROJECT IN BUFFALO, ERIE COUNTY, NEW YORK

Summary

Four combination pollen/starch, phytolith, parasite, and macrofloral samples were

examined from the fill within two historic privies and one historic wooden cistern (possible privy)

at the Parking Lot C project area associated with the proposed Federal Courthouse Complex in

Buffalo, New York. Pollen/starch, phytolith, and macrofloral analyses will provide information

concerning foods eaten by the historic site occupants, trash deposited in the features, and

plants growing in the area during the time period represented. Parasite analysis can provide

some insight into the intestinal health of the people using the privies.
