Abstract
On the neolithic site of Chalain, the analysis of 12 human coprolites and of 10 sediment samples rich in organic matters has revealed the pr esence of many well preserved eggs of Helminths: eggs of Trichuris/Cap illaria, Fasciola hepatica and Diphyllobothrium sp. The interest of pa laeoparasitological analysis in Archaeology and the impact of taphonom ical process on the parasitological material are discussed.
