Proteomic analysis of Late Neolithic pottery from Poland and modern replica cheesemaking vessels

Project description:The detection of dairy processing is pivotal to our understanding of ancient subsistence strategies. This culinary process is linked to key arguments surrounding the evolution of lactase persistence in prehistory. Despite extensive evidence indicating the presence of dairy products in ceramics in the European Neolithic, questions remain about the nature and extent of milk (and lactose) processing and consumption. In order to investigate past patterns of dairy processing, here we analyse ancient proteins identified from Late Neolithic Funnel Beaker ceramics, scrutinising the principle that curd and whey proteins partition during the production of dairy foods from milk. Our results indicate the presence of casein-rich dairy products in these vessels suggesting the creation of curd-enriched products from raw milk. Moreover, this analysis reveals the use of multiple species for their dairy products in the Late Neolithic Funnel Beaker culture, adding to a growing body of evidence that multiple taxa were exploited for dairying in the Neolithic. Alongside palaeoproteomic analysis we also apply lipid residue analysis, with discrepancies in these two approaches suggesting that effects from isotope mixing may be underestimating the frequency of milk use in prehistoric pottery, highlighting the utility of a multi-stranded approach.

Proteomic analysis of residues from experimental ceramics used for cooking a mixture of milk, meat and cereals

Project description:Ceramic vessels were used to cook a mixture of milk, meat (pork and beef) and cereals (wheat and barley), and proteomic studies were conducted on the ceramics to study the absorption and subsequent extraction and identification of the proteins from th various categories of foodstuff. A novel Deep Eutectic Solvent-based extraction procedure was also trialled and its efficacy compared with the standard GuHCl-based extraction procedure.

Proteomic analysis of residues from experimental ceramics

Project description:Ceramic vessels were used to cook fish/duck/black grouse, and proteomic studies were conducted on the ceramics to study how the choice of various database can affect the species identification and whether they can allow us to differentiate between fish and bird processing in ceramic vessels. We also employed a novel urea-GuHCl DES as the extraction reagent, and compared its efficiency with the conventional 6M GuHCl used for protein extraction (data available in project PXD027720). The samples used were same as the samples used in Peoject PXD027720, with a urea-GuHCl DES used as the extraction reagent instead of 6M GuHCl solution.

Palaeoproteomics of archaeological shell beads

Project description:In this project we have applied palaeoproteomics to study archaeological shell beads dating back to the beginning of the 7th mill. cal BCE and recovered from a prehistoric site in Jordan (Ba'ja). These beads were made of mollusc shells and were of unknown origin, but suspected to be made of larger bivalves such as Tridacna or Spondylus sp. The aim of the study was to analyse ancient proteins extracted from these beads in order to infer their biological origin. Tiny amounts of ancient samples were used and the extracted proteins were analysed by high resolution liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). In order to identify obtained peptides, we have created an Ã¢â‚¬Ëœin-houseÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ molluscan protein database, by gathering molluscan sequences (proteins and transcriptomes), which were downloaded from publicly available databases in NCBI. Searching against this comprehensive database, we were able to identify a number of shell proteins from Tridacna sp., the giant clam shells. Our study reports the oldest molluscan protein sequences ever recovered that come from a very warm environment.

The name of the game: palaeoproteomics and radiocarbon dates further refine the presence and dispersal of caprines in eastern and southern Africa

Project description:Genetic, linguistic, and archaeological studies have demonstrated the existence of strong links between eastern and southern Africa over the past millennia, including the diffusion of the first domesticated sheep and goats. However, the proportions at which they were introduced into past human subsistence strategies in Africa is difficult to assess archaeologically, as caprines share skeletal features with a number of wild bovids. Palaeoproteomics has proven effective at retrieving biological information from archaeological remains in African arid contexts. Using published collagen sequences and generated de novo ones of wild bovids, we present the molecular (re-)attribution of remains morphologically identified as sheep/goat or unidentifiable bovids from seventeen archaeological sites distributed between eastern and southern Africa and spanning seven millennia. More than 70% of the remains were identified and the direct radiocarbon dating of domesticates specimens allowed the chronological refinement of the arrival of caprines in both African regions. Our results further substantiate a predominance of sheep in the assemblages along with a similar arrival chronology. Beyond adding substantial biological data to the field of (palaeo-)proteomics, it is the first large-scale palaeoproteomics investigation to include both eastern and southern African sites, opening promising future applications of the method on the continent.

Taphonomy and Negative Results: An Integrated Approach to Ceramic-bound Protein Residue Analysis

Project description:Despite the growing body of evidence demonstrating that proteins can survive for thousands to even millions of years in selected contexts, there are relatively few examples of the successful recovery and identification of archaeological protein residues from ceramic artifacts. Claims of positive results are sometimes contentious and frequently challenged. One source of confusion in the debate is a general lack of consideration for the taphonomic histories of ceramic-bound proteins. To gain insight into this issue, we conducted an integrated, mass-spectrometry-based study examining ceramic-bound protein that was experimentally aged over the course of 12 months. By documenting the degradation of proteins after 1, 6 and 12 months of aging, we were able to provide insight into our lack of meaningful results obtained from a selection of archaeological ceramics.
