Applying sterols and bile acids as biomarkers for identifying human versus wild animals' faecal traces in cave sediments at archaeological sites
Faecal biomarkers are used to trace and identify the source of faecal matter at various types of archaeological sites. Until now, the focus has been centred on humans and domesticated animals. However, in caves, it's wild animals that play a role in the deposition of organic matter. To assess the participation of animals and humans at such sites through molecular markers it is crucial to recognize their biomolecular signature. We developed a data…
Faecal biomarkers as evidence of human presence in the caves of Kraków-Częstochowa Upland
This study investigates past human presence at cave sites by analysing faecal biomarkers—specifically sterols, bile acids and phosphorus-and compares the results with available archaeological data. The research concentrates on seven sites in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland (S Poland): Biśnik Cave, Bramka Rockshelter, Ciasna Cave, Łabajowa Cave, Łokietka Cave, Sąspowska Zachodnia Cave, and Shelter in Smoleń III. It involved analysing sediment sample…
Tracing ephemeral human occupation through archaeological, palaeoenvironmental and molecular proxies at Łabajowa Cave
Confirming ephemeral human occupation is a crucial issue in cave archaeology. The project 'Tracing human presence in caves of Polish Jura' focuses on the application of molecular methods to decode the history of past human activities in cave sediments in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. The results will be compared with archaeological and palaeoecological proxies
Potential impact of Holocene climate changes on camel breeding practices of Neolithic pastoralists in the Central Asian drylands: A preliminary assessment
Archaeological findings from the Neolithic open-air location Ayakagytma ‘The Site’, situated in the south-eastern part of the Kyzyl-kum Desert in Uzbekistan, can potentially shed new light on the camel domestication process in the Central Asian drylands and help to connect it to regional changes of paleoclimate. Detailed analyses of composition and 13 C isotopic ratios of fatty acids performed on potsherds from an archaeological horizon of a Kelt…
Environment changes during Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition in southern Poland (Central Europe). A multiproxy approach for the MIS 3 sequence of Koziarnia Cave (Kraków-Częstochowa Upland)
