Abstract
⺠Scytonemin is a diagnostic biomarker for cyanobacteria exposed to UV radiation. ⺠It is resistant to degradation and is preserved in deep sea sediments. ⺠C and N isotopes suggest scytonemin in the Black Sea was derived from desert soil. ⺠The Subboreal Phase in the Black Sea region was likely characterized by increased aridity.
