The microstratigraphy of middens: capturing daily routine in rubbish at Neolithic Çatalhöyük, Turkey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
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 heterogeneity of the properties of the coprolites Aporrectodea caliginosa and Lumbricus rubellus in model experiment with chernozem soil

open access: yesБюллетень Почвенного института им. В.В. Докучаева, 2019
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

Acanthocefalan eggs in animal coprolites from archaeological sites from Brazil Ovos de acantocéfalo em coprólitos de animais em sítios arqueológicos do Brasil

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1989
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]

open access: yes, 2012
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 ...

Genomic palaeoparasitology traced the occurrence of Taenia asiatica in ancient Iran (Sassanid Empire, 2th cent. CE–6th cent. CE)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Palaeoparasitology investigates parasitological infections in animals and humans of past distance by examining biological remains. Palaeofaeces (or coprolites) are biological remains that provide valuable information on the disease, diet, and population ...
