Preservation Biases in Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and their Implications for Identifying Archaeological Fire Use
Introduction
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are becoming an increasingly important analytical tool in archaeological science, offering a new perspective on past fire use and its relationship to human behaviour (Brittingham et al., 2019; Sanz et al., 2020; Davis et al., 2025). Produced through the incomplete combustion of organic matter, PAHs function as long lived “molecular fossils” that can record the occurrence, intensity, and environmental context of past combustion events (Karp et al., 2020).
