Archaeoparasitology

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I didn't exactly know how to just find archeaological sites, so I stumbled across archaeoparasitology and it sounded really interesting. After reading the intro I'm indeed very interested.

Evaluate the article
It's a relatively short article, but very informative and provides a good amount of links to basic concepts in case someone reading the article isn't familiar with relevant biological concepts revolving around parasitism as well as some archaeology jargon. It does have some language that needs to be adjusted (there's a use of the E-slur that refers to Inuit peoples), but overall the language is neutral. As far as the references being up to date, either there isn't a lot of current study happening in archaeoparasitology or there's just been no huge developments because the most recent reference is from 2014. It looks like this page is part of a wikiproject, but there isn't much viewable history on the talk page except for the version history which only has 4 entries. There are only 2 images, but they're well captioned and relevant, both tied into the written information in the article. The sources are varied, and come from an array of peer-reviewed journals and studies; all the links I checked were working and references from books look properly cited.

A definite setback is the lack of current references, as most on the list are from the 1980s and '90s and a fair amount from the early 2000s.
