  abstract = {{A} large amount of dust from the {S}ahara reaches the {A}mazon {B}asin, as observed with satellite imagery. {T}his dust is thought to carry micronutrients that could help fertilize the rainforest. {H}owever, considering different atmospheric transport conditions, different aridity levels in {S}outh {A}merica and {A}frica and active volcanism, it is not clear if the same pathways for dust have occurred throughout the {H}olocene. {H}ere we present analyses of {S}r-{N}d isotopic ratios of a lacustrine sediment core from remote {L}ake {P}ata in the {A}mazon region that encompasses the past 7,500 years before present, and compare these ratios to dust signatures from a variety of sources. {W}e find that dust reaching the western {A}mazon region during the study period had diverse origins, including the {A}ndean region and northern and southern {A}frica. {W}e suggest that the {S}ahara {D}esert was not the dominant source of dust throughout the vast {A}mazon basin over the past 7,500 years. {M}ineral dust deposited over the western {A}mazon region through the {H}olocene is not limited to a {S}aharan source and instead has diverse origins, according to geochemical fingerprinting of dust from lacustrine deposits.},
