POLLEN, STARCH, PARASITE, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM THE DUNLAP VILLAGE SITE, 36FA480, PENNSYLVANIA

Samples were collected from yard areas, privies, and a possible garden area at Dunlap
Village, site 36Fa480, in southwest Pennsylvania. This site is an historic miners village dating
to the early 20th century and consisting mainly of two-family house and privy remnants. The
majority of the yard samples were examined for pollen/starches and parasites, although five
yard samples from House Lot 5 also were examined for macrofloral remains. Pollen/starch,
parasite, and macrofloral analyses were conducted on a possible garden sample and 11 privy
samples. In addition, a single control sample was collected from several locations throughout
the site. Yard and garden samples were investigated for evidence of plants growing in these
areas. Pollen and macrofloral analysis of privy samples will provide information concerning
foods eaten by the site occupants. Parasite analysis can provide some insight into the
intestinal health of the miners and their families living in this village.

样本采集自宾夕法尼亚州西南部邓拉普村遗址（编号36Fa480）的庭院区域、茅厕与疑似花园区域。该遗址为一处始建于20世纪早期的历史矿工村落，现存遗迹以双户住宅残址与茅厕遗存为主。多数庭院样本已开展花粉、淀粉与寄生虫检测，其中来自5号住宅地块的5份庭院样本还额外针对大植物遗存（macrofloral remains）进行了分析。对1份疑似花园样本与11份茅厕样本开展了花粉、淀粉、寄生虫及大植物遗存分析。此外，还从遗址内多处区域采集了1份对照样本。针对庭院与花园样本，对区域内原生生长植物的遗存证据进行了勘查。茅厕样本的花粉与大植物遗存分析，可用于推断该遗址居住者的食物摄入种类。寄生虫分析则能够为了解该村落矿工及其家属的肠道健康状况提供参考依据。
