RMweb Premium petethemole Posted January 20, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 20, 2023 Coprolite is the term used in archaeology for preserved faecal matter. In the case of our examples, these were found in cess pits that had subsequently been filled with domestic rubbish, predominantly food waste including animal bones. The combination of chemicals present in the ground water within the pit preserved the faeces by mineralisation, replacing the organic matter with calcium phosphate, which is a form of fossilisation. The results were mostly fragmentary, but complete stools were found. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
