Condition of the archaeological deposits
Parasite egg preservation
The eggs of Trichuris were sparse and generally rather to very poorly preserved (Table 16), only a few specimens being in good condition (i.e. complete and with both polar plugs). Most also showed appreciable or strong loss of colour. As with the fruits and seeds, there is no real correlation between organic content and preservation.
