The microstratigraphy of middens: capturing daily routine in rubbish at Neolithic Çatalhöyük, Turkey [PDF]
Microstratigraphy — the sequencing of detailed biological signals on site — is an important new approach being developed in the Çatalhöyük project. Here the authors show how microscopic recording of the strata and content of widespread middens on the ...

The changes in the physical and microbiological properties of the coprolites of earthworms Aporrectodea caliginosa and Lumbricus rubellus were evaluated in laboratory experiments using the arable horizon of migratory-mycelial chernozem. In coprolites the

An important point in paleoparasitology is the correct diagnosis of the origin of coprolites found in archaelogical sites. The identification of human and animal coprolites, through the study of the shape, size, charactheristics after rehydration ...

Soft-tissue specimens from pre-European extinct birds of New Zealand [PDF]
We provide the first complete review of soft tissue remains from New Zealand birds that became extinct prior to European settlement (c. AD 1800). These rare specimens allow insights into the anatomy and appearance of the birds that are not attainable ...

CHARACTERISTICS OF HUMUS AND COPROLITES OF EATHWORMS IN AGRO-SODDY PODZOLIC SOILS
It has been experimentally established that coprolites of earthworms have an increased content of carbon (33-51%) and nitrogen (3-50%) as compared to the surrounding soil.
