This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Lipid biomarkers derived from plant waxes (n-alkanes) and the cell membranes of bacteria and archaea (GDGTs) are potentially powerful paleoenvironmental proxies in the field of archaeology given their durability and ubiquity in terrestrial sediments. We use the distributions of glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) and plant wax n-alkane structural...
