Coprolite research: archaeological and paleoenvironmental potentials
The papers in the CRAPP volume highlight the current state of the art in coprolite research and explore how newer high-resolution information can be better integrated into broader analytical studies using more traditional forms of evidence. The research presented here demonstrates the varied remains that can be recovered from coprolites and the range of applications of coprolite data to archaeological questions. The papers in this special issue provide new important information on human subsistence, health, and the environmental context of human adaptation across the temporal and geographic periods studied.

John C. Blong
I am an environmental archaeologist. My research examines the interaction between hunter-gatherers and the environment in prehistoric North America, with a focus on the peopling of the Americas and human use of marginal ecosystems. My broad research goal is to investigate initial human adaptation to the varied ecological landscapes across North America, and human response to subsequent environmental change.
