摘要

The article represents the results of study of an exceptional collection of coprolites recovered at the Serteya II and Duborkay V wetland settlements (Dnieper-Dvina region, NW Russia), assigned to ca. 4200 − 2200 cal BC. The research summarizes results of paleoparasitological analysis, micro computed tomography, macroremains, faunal analysis and spatial investigation. This whole set is regarded diachronically to address seasonality of sites occupation by local hunter-fisher-gatherers groups, their dietary patterns, and a range of zoonotic parasite infections for specific time periods and within a wider cultural and chronological frame. Given scarcity of human remains in this region, coprolites serve as a proxy for understanding human diet and pathogens in a diachronic way. It can also be testified by the results of isotopic analysis and faunal remains that show an important role played by fish procurement in the life of ancient people that inhabited this area during the 4th -3rd mill BC. The change in the occurrence of the parasites might have been an indication of cultural changes recorded for the time period from the 4th mill BC till the 1st mill BC connected with changes in food range or cooking techniques.
