POLLEN, PARASITE, PHYTOLITH, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSES OF SAMPLES FROM SITE LA 158037, NEW MEXICO

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman; Chad Yost

Year: 2012

Summary

Two samples of coprolitic deposits or sediment containing human excrement from site LA 158037 were examined for pollen, parasite eggs, phytoliths, and macrofloral remains. This site is located in downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico, and was excavated as part of the Executive Office Building Data Recovery project. Samples were recovered from a cesspit or early septic tank used by the Beacham and Butler families during the early to middle 1900s. Analysis was undertaken to provide information concerning diet of these two families, as well as to evaluate the possibility for parasite load.
