对新西兰北部罗素早期欧洲殖民地(19世纪30年代)的厕所灌装进行的微化石分析，为饮食提供了直接证据。已确定的微化石包括玉米(Zeamays)、十字花科(如芥菜、西兰花)、葱型(如洋葱)和薄荷(薄荷)的花粉，以及玉米和马铃薯的淀粉粒(Solanumtuberosum)。湿地微体化石(花粉和藻类孢子)为饮用水的来源和质量提供了线索。
Microfossil analysis of latrine fills from the early European (1830s) settlement of Russell, northern New Zealand, provides direct evidence for diet. Microfossils identified include pollen of maize (Zeamays), Brassicaceae (e.g., mustard, broccoli), Allium type (e.g., onion) and mint (Mentha), and starch grains of maize and potato (Solanumtuberosum). Wetland microfossils (pollen and algal spores) provide clues to source and quality of drinking water.
