ProteomicsBarbed bone point chronology reveals an unexpected hiatus in the archaeology of Southern Scandinavia around 10,300 years BP
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...

ProteomicsThe biomolecular characterisation of an Early Neolithic finger ring from Syltholm, Denmark
We present the analysis of an osseous finger ring from an early Neolithic context in Denmark. To characterise the artefact and identify the raw material used for its manufacture, we performed micro-computed tomography (Micro CT) scanning, zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry (ZooMS) peptide mass fing...

ProteomicsGenomic ancestry, diet and microbiomes of Upper Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers from San Teodoro cave (Sicily, Italy)
Recent improvements in the analysis ancient biomolecules from human remains and associated dental calculus have provided new insights into the prehistoric diet and past genetic diversity of our species. Here we present a “multi-omics” study, integrating genomic and proteomic analyses of two post-Las...

ProteomicsA Mid-Holocene reindeer antler from Regstrup, Sjælland, Denmark
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...

We use ZooMS to obtain secure species identifications of key specimens of early domesticated fauna from South Africa, dating to ca. 2000 BP. Because it can be difficult to distinguish between fragmentary remains of early domesticates (sheep) and similar-sized local wild bovids (grey duiker, grey rhe...

ProteomicsHuman and animal skin identified by palaeoproteomics in Scythian leather objects from Ukraine
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...

ProteomicsPalaeoproteomics identifies beaver fur and fur trade in Danish high-status Viking Age burials
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...

Paleoproteomics and the study of ancient proteins has become an important consideration in bioarchaeological research as we seek to understand the relationship between the physical skeleton and its underlying biochemistry.

ProteomicsModern Paint Binder Controls for Palaeoproteomic Profiling of Conservation Layers on a 14th Century Italian Wall Painting
Ahead of display, a non-original layer was observed on the surface of a fragment of a wall painting by Ambrogio Lorenzetti (active 1319, died 1348/9). FTIR analysis suggested proteinaceous content. Mass spectrometry was used to better characterise this layer and revealed two protein components: shee...
