It's been a long time coming

Abstract

It's been a long time coming: Anthropogenic impact and faecal biomarkers It is undisputed that humans impact their environments. However, what the ecological consequences of anthropogenic influence are in longer time spans is not widely known. In this article I have discussed some ways that can possibly shed more light on the human-environment dynamics in the past e.g. deep-past perspectives and big data. Additionally, I have discussed specifically the potential of faecal biomarkers in archaeological research and how it can support claims of anthropogenic impact to landscape development through the site of the Mesna lakes.
