Neanderthal behaviour, diet, and disease inferred from ancient DNA in dental calculus
Nature, 2017 Recent genomic data have revealed multiple interactions between Neanderthals and modern humans, but there is currently little genetic evidence regarding Neanderthal behaviour, diet, or disease.

Quantitative metaproteomics of medieval dental calculus reveals individual oral health status
Nature Communications, 2018 Mineralized plaque, or dental calculus, is a valuable reservoir of the ancient oral microbiome. Here, the authors use quantitative metaproteomics to analyze the dental calculus of 21 individuals from a medieval cemetery, identifying human and microbial ...

Proteomic evidence of dietary sources in ancient dental calculus [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018 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 ...
