Black Dots

I photographed this last fall and finally got around to scanning it in.  Does anyone know what these black dots are?  I'm pretty sure it's because I used old chemicals (I developed this roll just before the fall semester actually started, so Charlie let me use the chemicals to develop with before he dumped them).  Anyone experience this?

What was your developing method? Several students had these show up in their negatives last semester (or perhaps even last spring, now that I think of it... I don't really remember), and the thing they all seemed to have in common was that they were developed in Combi-plans. The suspicion at the time was that the tanks had been inadequately cleaned by the prior users, causing some sort of contamination effect. In any case, the students who were tray developing their negatives didn't seem to have the same problem, although they were using the same chemistry.

It was 120 film, so unless that one canister wasn't clean then maybe.
