A new legacy: potential of zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry in the analysis of North American megafaunal remains

Frontiers in Mammal Science
Museum legacy collections, often derived from large-scale archaeological excavations, can serve as paleoenvironmental archives of Late Pleistocene megafaunal composition and dynamics. Many of these collections, however, contain large quantities of highly

Large-scale application of palaeoproteomics (Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry; ZooMS) in two Palaeolithic faunal assemblages from China. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci, 2023
The application of Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) on Pleistocene sites in Europe and northern Asia has resulted in the discovery of important new hominin fossils and has expanded the range of identified fauna. However, no systematic, large-scale application of ZooMS on Palaeolithic sites in East Asia has been attempted thus far.

MALDI-TOF MS spectra and sequence data of collagen of 18 reference species of Atlantic Pleuronectiformes for Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS)

, 2022
MALDI-TOF MS spectra, LC-MS/MS datafiles, and Mascot MZID files of collagen of 18 species of Pleuronectiformes as reference spectra that were used to develop peptide biomarkers for ZooMS (Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry). Details on the samples used can be found in the file "Reference spectra information.csv".

Characterization of raw material in textile bone instruments from the capital of the Roman Province of Lusitania (Mérida, Spain) [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Bone has long served as a versatile raw material in human societies due to its durability, workability, and availability. However, identifying the animal species used in worked bone artifacts remains challenging, as manufacturing processes and use-wear ...

Use of hare bone for the manufacture of a Clovis bead [PDF]

Scientific Reports
A tubular bone bead dating to ~ 12,940 BP was recovered from a hearth-centered activity area at the La Prele Mammoth site in Converse County, Wyoming, USA. This is the oldest known bead from the Western Hemisphere.

Proteomic taxonomic identification can identify cryptic diversity of Squamata in modern and paleontological specimens [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Taxonomic identification of fauna is the foundation for multiple lines of ecological and paleoecological inquiry. However, genomic analyses are increasingly finding morphological similarities can mask species diversity.

WATERS SELECT SERIES MRT MALDI Spot Analysis for Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) of collagenous material v1 [PDF]

This protocol gives guidance on how to set up and run a Waters™ Select Series Multi-Reflecting Time-of-Flight (MRT) with a MALDI source attachment for the purposes of Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) of collagenous material. ZooMS allows for taxonomic identifications to be made based on peptide mass fingerprinting of collagen type 1.
