Measured star formation histories (SFHs) from the fossil record of Local Group (LG) galaxies to reconstruct the LF down to MUV ∼ −5 at z ∼ 5 and MUV ∼ −1.5 at z < 1. Such faint limits are nd the current observational limits and are likely to remain beyond the limits of next-generation facili econstructed LFs, when combined with direct measurements of the LFs at higher luminosity, are well-fit ard Schechter function with no evidence of a break to the faintest limits probed by this technique. The der -end slope, α, steepens from ≈−1.2 at z < 1 to ≈ −1.6 at 4 < z < 5. We test the effects of burstines FHs and find the recovered LFs to be only modestly affected. Incompleteness corrections for the faintest xies and the (unlikely) possibility of significant luminosity-dependent destruction of dwarf galaxies betw redshift and the present epoch are important uncertainties. These and other uncertainties can be mitig more detailed modeling and future observations. The reconstructed faint end LF from the fossil record fore be a powerful and complementary probe of the high-redshift faint galaxies believed to play a key ro eionization of the universe. words: dark ages, reionization, first stars – galaxies: evolution – galaxies: high-redshift – xies: luminosity function, mass function – Local Group ne-only material: color figures
