The southern African Late Pliocene to Early Pleistocene hominin record is abundant and exhibits a high taxonomic diveHere, we discuss the prospects of using palaeoproteomics to understand the southern African hominin record, and what knowledge it can generate. As an example, we examine the protein p...

In this project we have applied palaeoproteomics to study archaeological shell beads dating back to the beginning of the 7th mill. cal BCE and recovered from a prehistoric site in Jordan (Ba'ja). These beads were made of mollusc shells and were of unknown origin, but suspected to be made of larger b...

Genetic, linguistic, and archaeological studies have demonstrated the existence of strong links between eastern and southern Africa over the past millennia, including the diffusion of the first domesticated sheep and goats. However, the proportions at which they were introduced into past human subsi...

Fur is known from contemporary written sources to have been a key commodity in the Viking Age. Nevertheless, the fur trade has been notoriously difficult to study archaeologically as fur rarely survives in the archaeological record. In Denmark, fur finds are rare and fur in clothing has been limited...
