Reconstructing past environments can be challenging when archaeological materials are missing. The study of organic molecules, which remain as traces in the environment over millennia, represents one way to overcome this drawback. Fecal lipid markers (steroids and bile acids) ancient sedimentary DNA offer a complementary cross-validating analytical tool broaden range methods used environmental archaeology. However, little is known about benefits combining these two approaches. We present brief overview current state knowledge on fecal DNA. identify scientific methodological gaps suggest their potential relevance for better understanding dynamic, human-animal relationships past. With review, we aim facilitate new research avenues, both established disciplines conjunction with approaches that have rarely been combined date.
