ProteomicsProteomic Evidence of Dietary Sources in Ancient Dental Calculus
Archaeological dental calculus has emerged as a rich source of ancient biomolecules, including proteins. Previous analyses of proteins extracted from ancient dental calculus revealed the presence of the dietary milk protein β-lactoglobulin, providing direct evidence of dairy consumption in the archa...

ProteomicsAncient proteins extracted from ceramic residues
Ancient proteins were extracted from ceramic vessels from the West Mound of the key early farming site of Çatalhöyük, dating to the early 6th millennium BC. This analysis revealed that barley, wheat, pulses, as well as goat, sheep and bovinae dairy and meat products were contained in ceramic vessels...

ProteomicsDairy pastoralism sustained Eastern Eurasian steppe populations for 5000 years
Through the use of proteomic analysis of 32 dental calculus samples from anceint Mongolia, we show that ruminant dairying was present in Mongolia by at least 3000 B.C.E., over 1500 years prior to previously published work. Excitingly, the earliest site with dairy evidence has been identified as arc...

ProteomicsProteomic Evidence of Ancient Mongolian Dietary Dairy Sources in Ancient Dental Calculus
To investigate dairy consumption in ancient Mongolia, we analysed dental calculus samples from four Late Bronze Age (LBA, 1500-1000 BCE) individuals for proteomic evidence of milk proteins. As many archaeological sites before Mongolia's Iron Age suffer from a dearth of occupational materials, lookin...

ProteomicsMass spectrometry imaging of ancient teeth proteomes
In order to research the variation in protein distribution in teeth, proteins were extracted from archaeological (15-18th century, Netherlands) and modern teeth and identified using LC-MS/MS. Of the recovered proteins we then visualised the distribution of collagen type I (both the alpha-1 and -2 ch...

Proteomics has become a popular method for investigating diet and cuisine in well-preserved ancient food remains, and calcified deposits like dental calculus. However, foodcrusts (the typically charred residues on the surface of pottery) have not been extensively explored as a source of dietary prot...

The detection of dairy processing is pivotal to our understanding of ancient subsistence strategies. This culinary process is linked to key arguments surrounding the evolution of lactase persistence in prehistory. Despite extensive evidence indicating the presence of dairy products in ceramics in th...

ProteomicsProteomic Identification of Cereal Grains Associated with Archaeological Artefacts
The domestication and transmission of cereals is one of the most fundamental components of early farming, but direct evidence of their use in early culinary practices and economies has remained frustratingly elusive. Using analysis of a well-preserved Early Bronze Age wooden container from Switzerla...

This study investigated the consumption of milk products in the archaeological record, utilizing human dental calculus as a reservoir of dietary proteins from archaeological samples from across Eurasia. Protein extraction and generation of tryptic peptides from dental calculus was performed using a ...
