Label-Free Quantification Method for Assessing Sex from Modern and Ancient Bovine Tooth Enamel

Label-Free Quantification Method for Assessing Sex from Modern and Ancient Bovine Tooth Enamel PART II

Project description:Identification of the sex of fossil and archaeological animal remains offers many insights into their demography, mortality profiles and domestication pathways. However, due to manifold factors, sex determination of fossils is often impossible. To overcome this, we have developed an innovative protocol to determine animal’s sex applying label-free quantification (LFQ) of two unique AmelY peptides ‘LRYPYP’ (AmelY;[M+2]2+ 404.7212 m/z) and ‘LRYPYPSY’ (AmelY;[M+2]2+ 529.7689 m/z) that are solely present in males that permitted determination of the animal’s sex. We examine the application of this method to eight (8) modern cattle (Bos taurus) and (12) twelve fossil (Bos) samples from a Neolithic sites of Beisamoun in Israel (8th–7th millennium BC). Our methodology correctly determinate sex in all modern and ancient samples.

Gendering Prehistory Through Science. Women and Early Social Complexity in Copper Age Iberia.

Project description:Given the absence of written records, the main source of information available to analyze gender inequalities in early complex societies is the human body itself. And yet, for decades, archaeologists have struggled with the identification of the sex of poorly preserved human remains. Here we present an exceptional case study that shows how ground-breaking new scientific methods may address this problem. Through the analysis of sexually dimorphic amelogenin peptides in tooth enamel by nanoflow liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, we establish that the most socially prominent person of the Iberian Copper Age (c. 3200-2300 cal BC) was not male, as previously thought, but female. The meticulous anthropological, contextual and comparative analysis of this woman, discovered in 2008 at Valencina, Spain, reveals that she was a leading social figure at a time where no male attained a remotely comparable social position. Only other women, buried a short time after in the Montelirio tholos, part of the same burial area, appear to have enjoyed a similarly high social position. Our results invite to reconsider established interpretations about the political role of women at the onset of early social complexity, while at the same time questions traditionally-held views of the past and naïve assumptions concerning the determination of sex and gender through grave goods alone. Furthermore, this study anticipates the profound changes that newly-developed scientific methods may bring to prehistoric archaeology and the study of human social evolution.

Enamel sexing of mammoth from Kostenki

Project description:We undertook the sexing of mammoth remains (n=21) from the russian site of Kostenki based on enamel protein characterisation. We use amelogenin, a protein that is expressed differently by amelogenin X and Y, depending on the coding gene it originates from (AMELX or AMELY).

FEMALE SEX BIAS AND KINSHIP IN IBERIAN MEGALITHIC SOCIETIES: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY ANALYSIS OF BIOARCHAEOLOGY, aDNA, AND PROTEOMICS

Project description:Uncertainties of traditional osteological methods in biological sex estimation can now be overcome with genomic and proteomic analyses. The combination of the three methodologies has been used for a better understanding of gender-related funerary rituals of the Iberian megalithic cemetery of Panoría. As a result, 44 individuals have been sexed including, for the first time, non-adults. Contrary to the male bias found in many Iberian and European megalithic monuments, the Panoría population shows a clear sex ratio imbalance in favour of females, with twice as many females as males. Furthermore, this imbalance is found regardless of the criterion considered: sex ratio by tomb, chronological period, method of sex estimation or age group. Biological relatedness and kinship have been explored as cultural explanations for this female-related bias. The results obtained for Panoría are indicative of a female-centred social structure, in which sex and/or gender would have influenced funerary rites and cultural traditions.

Ancient tooth enamel proteomes to help understand post mortem protein degradation over millions of years

Project description:The tooth enamel proteome is enzymatically broken down during development, which leads to a heterogenous distribution of remaining peptides of a protein sequence in a grown individual's enamelome. After death of the organism, the heterogeneous distribution of remaining peptides may be enhanced, as the proteome further degrades. The pattern of this degradation is poorly understood, but it might happen at different rates depending on the site within the protein sequence, due to different chemical properties of the peptides and their interaction with the environment. To learn more about this process, we recovered six ancient enamel proteomes from Equidae and Proboscidea fossils from Spain. The fossils span an age range of <100 ka to 11.6 Ma.

Analysis of the preserved amino acid bias in peptide profiles of Iron Age teeth from a tropical environment enabling sexing of individuals using amelogen in MRM

Project description:We describe the first dental proteomic profiles of Iron Age individuals (c2000-1000 years B.P), collected from the site of Long Long Rak rock shelter (LLR) in northwest Thailand. A bias toward the preservation of small, acidic and hydrophobic amino acids is observed. It is evident that the 212 proteins identified (2 peptide, FDR <1%) comprise a palimpsest of alterations that occurred both ante-mortem and post-mortem. Conservation of particular amino acids has contributed to the identification of amelogenin peptides. A novel MRM method for sexing individuals using the amelogenin protein is described, with four teeth indicating male origin. Stable isotope analysis using carbon and oxygen isotopes highlights the strongly C3 based (~80%) diet of the Long Long Rak cemetery people, which probably comprised rice combined with protein from freshwater fish among other food items. The combination of pathway and isotopic analysis adds weight to the relatively simple C3 based diets having contributed to the enrichment of pathways associated with metabolic conditions and shows capacity for harboring these conditions prior to death. The combination of proteomics and stable isotope analysis provides a complementary strategy for assessing the demography, diet, lifestyle and possible diseases experienced by ancient populations.
