The extensive peat bogs of Southern Scandinavia have yielded rich Mesolithic archaeological assemblages, which has informed prehistoric studies for more than a century. Central to this has been the first recognizably Mesolithic culture, the Maglemose (c. 11,000 - 8,000 BP), first described in 1903 w...

A small, shed antler fragment of a reindeer from Sjælland, Denmark has been dated to the Mid-Holocene, ca., 4700 cal B.C. Reindeer was an important component of the Lateglacial fauna in Denmark, and the species survived for ca. 1400 years into the Holocene. However, we consider it highly unlikely th...

The origins, prevalence and nature of dairying have been long debated by archaeologists. Within the last decade, new advances in high-resolution mass spectrometry have allowed for the direct detection of milk proteins from archaeological remains, including ceramics, dental calculus, and preserved da...

Leather was one of the most important materials of nomadic Scythians, who used it for clothing, shoes, and quivers, amongst other objects. However, we have little information about the animal species utilised for Scythian leather production. In this first systematic study, we used palaeoproteomics m...

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...

We applied nanoscale liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC-MS/MS) in a single Trionyx triunguis reference specimen to identify diagnostic COl1 peptide markers. Our analysis revealed four COL1 biomarkers that differentiate T. triunguis from all sea turtle species, as well as seven ad...

In order to investigate how representative the recoverable proteins from charred organic residues (foodcrust) are of the food mixture cooked to produce them, a protein-rich (salmon), lipid-rich (beef fat) and carbohydrate-rich (beetroot) food were mixed, cooked and analysed. The three ingredients we...

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...

Following the report of Mycobacterium tuberculosis proteins derived from archaeological bone by Boros-Major et al. (2011), we attempted to recover M. tuberculosis proteins in mummified lung tissues from which aDNA success had already been reported. Using a filter-aided sample preparation protocol mo...
