Abstract

Presented here are the results of archaeoparasitological analysis of habitation layers at Shag River Mouth, Otago coast. Two types of helminth eggs were identified: The first type is Toxocara canis, associated with the introduced kurī dog (Canis familiaris), which could have adversely affected local people and their dogs. The other type very closely resembles that of Stringopotaenia psittacea, associated with the critically endangered endemic kākāpō (Strigops habroptilus) parrot. The results represent the first South Island archaeo parasitological identifications. There was no starch or associated material in the samples, such as introduced Polynesian crops and indigenous starchy Māori food plants. This lack is consistent with the interpretation of the site as that of a transient village focused on big game hunting.

新西兰沙格河口早期毛利村落的新发现揭示了肠道寄生虫
本文介绍了对奥塔哥海岸沙格河口居住层的考古寄生虫学分析结果。发现了两种蠕虫卵:第一种是犬弓形虫(Toxocara canis),与引进的库里犬(Canis familiaris)有关,可能对当地人和他们的狗造成了不利影响。另一种类型与 Stringopotaenia psittacea 非常相似,后者与极度濒危的特有鹦鹉 Kākāpō (Strigops habroptilus)有关。这些结果代表了首次南岛古寄生虫鉴定。样本中没有淀粉或相关物质,如引进的波利尼西亚农作物和本地的毛利淀粉食物植物。这种缺乏与该遗址是一个以狩猎大型猎物为主的临时村落的解释是一致的。
