TL;DR: A review of the history and current state of research in human coprolite analysis encompassing macroscopic, microscopic, and biomolecular approaches can be found in this article.

TL;DR: Fecal lipid biomarkers are used to demonstrate unequivocally that three coprolites dated to pre-Clovis are human, raise questions over the reliance on DNA methods, and present a new radiocarbon date on basketry further supporting pre- Clovis human occupation.

TL;DR: The Alaska Range Ecoregion (ARE) was continuously occupied throughout the late glacial primarily by small groups on seasonal logistical forays in a low-mobility land-use system, with evidence for a shift to a highmobility system in the Younger Dryas and early Holocene at some sites as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Paisley Caves in the northern Great Basin of the USA were investigated for evidence of a broad-based subsistence strategy including the consumption of a wide variety of small animal and plant resources.
