Abstract We identify a major sulfur isotope excursion in Eurasian faunal bone collagen from the last 50,000 years, here termed the Late Pleniglacial Sulfur Excursion. Our analysis suggests this is linked to changing permafrost conditions, presenting the utility of faunal collagen δ34S as a proxy for permafrost dynamics, a critical component of the global carbon cycle. Our findings complicate the use of archaeological faunal sulfur isotopes for mobility and palaeodietary studies.

By the mid-1990s, the field of ancient DNA was starting to drift into the doldrums. The Jurassic Park popcorn was going stale, and the difficulties of working at the recovery limits of PCR technology, on genetic material that was preserved unpredictably and often irreproducibly, had taken its toll on public and scientific interest in the field.
