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...

The advent of domestication is a major step that transformed the subsistence strategies of past human societies. In Africa, domestic caprines (sheep and goat) were introduced in the north-eastern part of the continent from the Near East more than 9000 years ago. However, their diffusion southwards w...

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...

Species identification in palaeoproteomics relies on existing, often poor-quality, genome-derived protein sequences and lacks tools to cope with mixtures. Here, we address both challenges through the perspective of “physical and genetic mixtures”. Species that are absent from our database are consid...

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...
