Hiding in plain sight: the biomolecular identification of pinniped use in medieval manuscripts [PDF]
The survival of medieval manuscripts in their original bindings remains a rare occurrence. Taking advantage of the diversity of bindings in Cistercian libraries such as Clairvaux and its daughter abbeys during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, this ...

Combining traceological analysis and ZooMS on Early Neolithic bone artefacts from the cave of Coro Trasito, NE Iberian Peninsula: Cervidae used equally to Caprinae. [PDF]
Few studies have combined the analysis of use-wear traces, traceology, and the proteomic taxonomic identification method Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS).

Early Paleoindian use of canids, felids, and hares for bone needle production at the La Prele site, Wyoming, USA. [PDF]
We report the first identifications of species and element used to produce Paleolithic bone needles. Archaeologists have used the tailored, fur-fringed garments of high latitude foragers as modern analogs for the clothes of Paleolithic foragers, arguing ...

[Undergraduate innovation training experiment: zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry for species identification of paleontological remnants]. [PDF]
Against the educational backdrop of deep interdisciplinary integration and empowering new models for cultivating composite talents, this innovative training experiment focuses on the hot interdisciplinary field of molecular archaeology, targeting the fragmented state of paleontological remains that do not have morphological identification ...

Ancient Plumage Colour Genetics Reveal Goose Domestication and Hybridization. [PDF]
ABSTRACT In archaeological assemblages, differentiating the European domestic goose and its wild progenitor, the greylag goose (Anser anser), has been challenging due to their similar skeletal morphologies. A short region of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysed from ancient DNA (aDNA) has been shown to distinguish wild greylags from domestic geese, but ...

The biomolecular characterization of a finger ring contextually dated to the emergence of the Early Neolithic from Syltholm, Denmark [PDF]
We present the analysis of an osseous finger ring from a predominantly early Neolithic context in Denmark. To characterize the artefact and identify the raw material used for its manufacture, we performed micro-computed tomography scanning ...

Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) for bone material - AmBiC protocol v1 [PDF]
This collection details the different established protocols for Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) for use on archaeological bone. ZooMS allows for taxonomic identification by the peptide mass fingerprinting of collagen type I. These protocols can be used individually or combined depending on the preservation, sample size, and ability to do ...

Quantifying Bone Collagen Fingerprint Variation Between Species. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Collagen is the most ubiquitous protein in the animal kingdom and one of the most abundant proteins on Earth. Despite having a relatively repetitive amino acid sequence motif that enables its triple helical structure, in type 1 collagen, that dominates skin and bone, there is enough variation for its increasing use for the biomolecular species

Species identification of Australian marsupials using collagen fingerprinting
The study of faunal remains from archaeological sites is often complicated by the presence of large numbers of highly fragmented, morphologically unidentifiable bones.
