Are sites in lowland Europe destroyed when they are ploughed many times? In north Denmark, many Neolithic and Early Bronze Age sites are now reduced to just lithic scatters, but distinctive ‘site signatures’ persist. A lithic economic prehistory from the ploughsoil is possible and instructive.
Using archaeological data of two human intestinal parasites from seventeenth-to early twentieth-century contexts, we explore the intersection of biological and cultural variables that shaped the ecology of cities in northeastern North
Utilizando datos arqueológicos sobre dos parásitos intestinales humanos recuperados en contextos que datan desde el siglo XVII hasta principios del siglo XX, exploramos la intersección entre las variables biológicas y culturales que dieron forma a la ecología de las ciudades en el noreste de América del Norte durante el período moderno. Estos parásitos son indicadores útiles porque requieren un período de desarrollo en el suelo, proporcionando así un vínculo entre las actividades humanas y su entorno cambiante. Antes de las últimas décadas del siglo XVIII, los huevos de
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
