The Dung File consists of a list of references dealing
with pollen, parasites,
and plant remains in coprolites and latrine fills from
archaeological and palaeoenvironmental
sites. The focus is on studies in North America. The Dung
File is subdivided into ten sections: four
depend on the origin of the deposits being investigated (Part 1: Mostly Human,
Part 2: Mainly Mammal, Part 3:
Animal Middens, Part 4: Other
Critters), there are two
broader categories, Part 5: General and
Review Articles,
Part 6: Field and Laboratory Methods,
one focussed on theses, Part 7: Theses,
and two focussed on modern
comparative studies, Part 8: Comparative
Studies - Human and
Part 9: Comparative Studies - Mammal.
Finally, there are a number of
articles from news magazines and the popular
press (Part 10: Popular Press and
Commentary) and some less readily available items listed in
Part 11: Conference Abstracts and Grey
Literature.
The call numbers are for the library system at the University of
Alberta. The
remarks in green are my comments.

Examined samples from two latrines, a drain, and an abandoned
well
or cistern. Insect remains were present but little evidence of
endoparasites. Results suggest relatively clean living
conditions,
in contrast to documentary reports of squalid conditions in urban
settings. Study undertaken to better understand impact of public
health developments and medical advances on actual late 19th
century living conditions.

Occupations investigated date to Middle
Bronze Age. Discusses fuel use, especially the use of dung as
fuel
in earlier occupation and replacement with wood later. Dung fuel
use implies predominance of pastoralism, rather than agriculture.
Later, subsistence base broadened, year-round settlement, and
wood
fuel use may indicate a reduction in pastoralism.

Dissertation abstract was published in
AEA Newsletter 66, pp. 4-5, 1999. Examined insect
assemblages from archaeological context and from cores. Uppsala
and
Novgorod both had predominantly rural character based on these
assemblages. Results show transport of supplies and building
materials to the towns from the surroundings. Dung beetles at
Uppsala indicate grazing as dominant landuse. Microclimates of
towns may provide suitable habitats for taxa that usually prefer
warmer conditions. Hence climatic reconstructions based on urban
archaeological assemblages may be misleading. As a corollary,
urban
contexts may provide suitable habitats for survival of taxa that
are extirpated from the surroundings.

Thesis abstract is on-line at University

Twenty
stick-nest rat (Leporillus sp.) middens examined for
pollen
and macros. Middens (Northern Territory, South Australia and
Western Australia) radiocarbon dated younger than 3500 yr BP.
Pollen assemblage highly variable but shows little evidence of
climate change (e.g., moderation of aridity) over last 3500
years.
However, faunal remains showed reduction in arid zone mammal
species richness over time. Concludes that stick-nest rat middens
are a good source of palaeoenvironmental information in arid
areas.
