Notes on Paleofecal Materials from Chapman Caves No. 1 (CA?INY-1534A), Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS), China Lake, California

Abstract

Two coprolites recovered from the excavations at Chapman Caves 1 (CA-INY-1534A) were analyzed to determine their origins, and if possible to obtain data on human resource use at the site. Both specimens were determined to probably be canid in origin, but their presence within the cultural deposit may suggest they were from dogs belonging to the human occupants of the site. In addition, the results of protein residue analysis from three other coprolites found on the surface of the site are reported.
