Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Parasitological studies of archaeological sites can be used to interpret past behaviour and living conditions. During the 1980s problem-oriented research into prehistoric and historic parasitism developed and resulted in the field of archaeoparasitology as an attempt to integrate parasite data into archaeological theory and interpretation. Within the last decade, four major archaeoparasitological laboratories have emerged, developing interpretive frameworks that apply parasitological data to a remarkable variety of prehistoric behaviours. In Britain this research developed directly from environmental archaeology. Parasite remains can be used to reconstruct aspects of diet, health, and other behaviours such as transhumance and trade. Finally, analysis of the distribution of parasite remains can be used to interpret aspects of site-formation processes. Au(adp) | ||
