Palaeoproteomic analyses of dog palaeofaeces reveal a preserved dietary and host digestive proteome
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The site of Nunalleq has yeilded remarkably well preserved archaeological artefacts, which have provided insight into the lifeways of humans and dogs in pre-contact Alaska. Dietary studies using stable isotopes have revealed a mixed economy relying heavily on aquatic resources, but while similarities between human and dog provisioning are apparent, the broad perspectives provided by stable isotope analysis leaves questions concerning the management of dogs in the past open for interpretation. This dataset was generated to explore the viability of performing palaeoproteomic analyses on palaeofaeces, something which, at the time we started, had yet to be published on, and to explore the short term insights from dog faeces in high resolution using a combination of shotgun proteomics and zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry.
