[First paleoparasitologic approach of the neolithic site in Chalain (Jura, France)].

On the neolithic site of Chalain, the analysis of 12 human coprolites and of 10 sediment samples rich in organic matters has revealed the presence of many well preserved eggs of Helminths: eggs of Trichuris/Capillaria, Fasciola hepatica and Diphyllobothrium sp. The interest of palaeoparasitological analysis in Archaeology and the impact of taphonomical process on the parasitological material are discussed.
