Label-Free Quantification Method for Assessing Sex from Modern and Ancient Bovine Tooth Enamel

Label-Free Quantification Method for Assessing Sex from Modern and Ancient Bovine Tooth Enamel PART II

Project description:Identification of the sex of fossil and archaeological animal remains offers many insights into their demography, mortality profiles and domestication pathways. However, due to manifold factors, sex determination of fossils is often impossible. To overcome this, we have developed an innovative protocol to determine animal’s sex applying label-free quantification (LFQ) of two unique AmelY peptides ‘LRYPYP’ (AmelY;[M+2]2+ 404.7212 m/z) and ‘LRYPYPSY’ (AmelY;[M+2]2+ 529.7689 m/z) that are solely present in males that permitted determination of the animal’s sex. We examine the application of this method to eight (8) modern cattle (Bos taurus) and (12) twelve fossil (Bos) samples from a Neolithic sites of Beisamoun in Israel (8th–7th millennium BC). Our methodology correctly determinate sex in all modern and ancient samples.

Gendering Prehistory Through Science. Women and Early Social Complexity in Copper Age Iberia.

Project description:Given the absence of written records, the main source of information available to analyze gender inequalities in early complex societies is the human body itself. And yet, for decades, archaeologists have struggled with the identification of the sex of poorly preserved human remains. Here we present an exceptional case study that shows how ground-breaking new scientific methods may address this problem. Through the analysis of sexually dimorphic amelogenin peptides in tooth enamel by nanoflow liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, we establish that the most socially prominent person of the Iberian Copper Age (c. 3200-2300 cal BC) was not male, as previously thought, but female. The meticulous anthropological, contextual and comparative analysis of this woman, discovered in 2008 at Valencina, Spain, reveals that she was a leading social figure at a time where no male attained a remotely comparable social position. Only other women, buried a short time after in the Montelirio tholos, part of the same burial area, appear to have enjoyed a similarly high social position. Our results invite to reconsider established interpretations about the political role of women at the onset of early social complexity, while at the same time questions traditionally-held views of the past and naïve assumptions concerning the determination of sex and gender through grave goods alone. Furthermore, this study anticipates the profound changes that newly-developed scientific methods may bring to prehistoric archaeology and the study of human social evolution.

Taxonomic identification and sex determination of Bos and Bison teeth using low-invasive high-resolution mass spectrometry

Project description:Differentiating between the genus Bos and Bison from fossil bones and teeth can be difficult and even impossible due to taphonomic deterioration, which can also muddle the identification of the sex of the animal. Both are key issues for palaeobiological and palaeoecological studies, as the two species are generally considered having quite similar spatial distributions but distinct ecological preferences, and likely similar social behaviours with males separated from female groups during most of the year. However, identifications are usually limited to “Bos/Bison” and “Sex indeterminate”, which severely limits interpretations. Here, we propose a low-invasive mass spectrometry method for simultaneous taxonomic and sex determination of Bos and Bison teeth, with successful application on a Middle Pleistocene large bovid teeth from Lazaret cave. The peptides and proteins present in the enamel were directly extracted at the surface of the teeth. The proteins were then digested with trypsin or chymotrypsin and analysed by LC-MS/MS. The results obtained show that the enamelin, COL1A3 and alpha-2-glycoprotein allow for taxonomic differentiation between Bos and Bison, while AMELX/Y sequences of the same samples allow for sex identification. Both were successfully performed on the 160-120 ky archaeological teeth, without affecting the specimen. This study highlights the potential of proteomics for simultaneous taxonomic and sex determination for others fossil samples, including rare or precious material, using low-invasive high-resolution mass spectrometry. It opens up unprecedent avenues for palaeobiological studies as well as cultural and natural heritage, and will widely participate to strengthen our knowledge of past animal and human communities. Such multi-proxy approach, shall be now developed for other mammalian species.

FEMALE SEX BIAS AND KINSHIP IN IBERIAN MEGALITHIC SOCIETIES: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY ANALYSIS OF BIOARCHAEOLOGY, aDNA, AND PROTEOMICS

Project description:Uncertainties of traditional osteological methods in biological sex estimation can now be overcome with genomic and proteomic analyses. The combination of the three methodologies has been used for a better understanding of gender-related funerary rituals of the Iberian megalithic cemetery of Panoría. As a result, 44 individuals have been sexed including, for the first time, non-adults. Contrary to the male bias found in many Iberian and European megalithic monuments, the Panoría population shows a clear sex ratio imbalance in favour of females, with twice as many females as males. Furthermore, this imbalance is found regardless of the criterion considered: sex ratio by tomb, chronological period, method of sex estimation or age group. Biological relatedness and kinship have been explored as cultural explanations for this female-related bias. The results obtained for Panoría are indicative of a female-centred social structure, in which sex and/or gender would have influenced funerary rites and cultural traditions.

Enamel sexing of mammoth from Kostenki

Project description:We undertook the sexing of mammoth remains (n=21) from the russian site of Kostenki based on enamel protein characterisation. We use amelogenin, a protein that is expressed differently by amelogenin X and Y, depending on the coding gene it originates from (AMELX or AMELY).

Ancient tooth enamel proteomes to help understand post mortem protein degradation over millions of years

Project description:The tooth enamel proteome is enzymatically broken down during development, which leads to a heterogenous distribution of remaining peptides of a protein sequence in a grown individual's enamelome. After death of the organism, the heterogeneous distribution of remaining peptides may be enhanced, as the proteome further degrades. The pattern of this degradation is poorly understood, but it might happen at different rates depending on the site within the protein sequence, due to different chemical properties of the peptides and their interaction with the environment. To learn more about this process, we recovered six ancient enamel proteomes from Equidae and Proboscidea fossils from Spain. The fossils span an age range of <100 ka to 11.6 Ma.
