Conversely, little research had been undertaken&nbsp; on&nbsp; insect&nbsp; fossils&nbsp; from&nbsp; hunter-gatherer&nbsp; settlements,&nbsp; save&nbsp; a&nbsp; handful&nbsp; of&nbsp; investigations&nbsp; from&nbsp; deposits&nbsp; associated&nbsp; with Saqqaq sites in Western Greenland. Over the past decade, the scope of these studies has extended to encompass new territories, time periods, and research questions. Insect remains from Palaeo- and Neo-Eskimo sites in the eastern Canadian Arctic were examined for the first time, and previously unexamined Norse and later sites have revealed new applications for archaeoentomology. This emerging body of work demonstrates the potential and importance of the continued integration of archaeoentomology in archaeological projects</p>

Records of human lice, fleas and bedbugs are used to reconstruct past sanitary conditions and practices, as well as their geographic distribution and that of the pathogens for which they may be vectors. Ectoparasites of domesticated and wild animals may be considered proxy indicators for the presence of those animals whilst also inferring activities such as wool processing. This paper summarizes the contribution of ectoparasite studies in archaeology and presents two original case studies from Iceland and Greenland.</p>
