8,253 bones analysed using ZooMS at Denisova Cave!!! This has been the focus of our research for nearly 6 years and I’m so excited to finally share it! Katerina Douka Tom Higham Naihui_Wang Annette Oertle Mike Buckley Siberian Archaeology #Archaeology #ZooMS nature.com/articles/s4159…

We identified 5 new hominin remains at Denisova Cave! Included are three ~200,000 year old Denisovans, the earliest known fossils for this population so far @Katerina_Douka Tom Higham Siberian Archaeology Massilani Lab Janet Kelso NatureEcoEvo @MPI_SHH nature.com/articles/s4155…

Very excited to share our new paper😊🥳. We explore how differing ecological and social settings shaped variable patterns of agricultural adaptation in the western Himalayas. @robertnspengler FEDD Nicole Boivin Michael J. Storozum Xinyi Liu

In our new paper, #ZooMS and #aDNA technologies are used to find key evidence of a murder, right before the longest limitation of prosecution in China. Great thanks to my collaborators from Yinqiu Cui's lab, Jilin University. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

A new #openaccess study in Proceedings B presents the largest application of #ZooMS in East Asia to date. Researchers analyzed ~900 bone fragments from Palaeolithic caves in northern and southern China, discovering previously unidentified camel remains buff.ly/3FwtIa8

Patrick Quinn @UCL IoA and Iain Borden The Bartlett have published the first detailed academic paper on the #heritage value of concrete #skateboard parks left from the skating boom of the 1970s. Read more here (including the link to their paper): 🛹 bit.ly/47aA3nX

Really happy this next paper from my PhD is out now! We used FTIR, ZooMS and deamidation rates to assess the preservation of collagen in the Australian archaeological and paleontological record. nature.com/articles/s4324…
