MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF FOUR PRIVIES FROM LOT 39, KLONDIKE GOLD RUSH NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, SKAGWAY, ALASKA

Fill from four privies on Block 39 at Klondike National Historical Park in Skagway, Alaska, were sampled for macrofloral remains. The lots on which these privies sit were occupied from about 1897 until the late 1920's. Before 1910, Skagway was existing as a gold-rush town and a supply center fo...
