We tested the use of fecal molecules as indicators of population change against existing population estimates from Cahokia - turns out it works pretty well!

We used a fecal molecule population reconstruction from Cahokia and paleoenvironmental data from the same core to show that flooding and droughts likely played a role in the site's depopulation

Fecal molecules show that the Cahokia region supported an indigenous population after its famous decline that has received very little academic attention until now

As a coauthor I analyzed sediment for fecal stanol content to show periods of high and low human presence at Quan Lan Island, Vietnam
