Abstract
The investigation of diet and subsistence practices is pivotal in aiding our understanding of how and why hunter-gatherers utilised high-elevation landscapes. However, preservation issues in alpine terrain leave relatively little physical evidence of foods. Lipid residues offer a solution to this issue as they are resilient to many destructive forces, are found in alpine landscapes and can be reliably identified within porous artifacts. By using non-destructive lipid residue analysis on steatite, groundstone and ceramic artifacts from sites across three mountain ranges in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the results of this study offer a glimpse into prehistoric alpine cuisine, finding that hunter-gatherers consumed a diverse suite of plant and animal resources over the past 6000 years.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
