We are approaching conference season! We are currently preparing 9 presentations for 4 conferences, and look forward to sharing some of our first COEXIST project results, and more! #archsci #Palaeoproteomics #ZooMS #Zooarchaeology 🧪🦣

📢 The recording of the Integrating #ZooMS and #Zooarchaeology "Ask Us Anything" forum held on 30 June 2025 is now available on YouTube: youtu.be/loAgeUuK08g?...

📄 We also created a summary document that can be downloaded on the IZAZ website: izaz2024.sciencesconf.org

Spent my Saturday at the @uniofreading.bsky.social Community Festival where @wagneranna.bsky.social and I taught kids (and adults) about prehistoric fauna and the coexistence of humans in Europe 45kya - using pasta shapes to represent collagen and of course lots of woolly mammoth/rhino chat! 🦣

The @eaapam.bsky.social deadline has been extended until 10th February. Still time to submit to our session on #Zooarchaeology #ZooMS and subsistence in central and SE Europe. 🦣🧪🏺

📣 Paper alert! 📣 In this review, available as early view in @paleoanthjourn.bsky.social, we discuss "Paleoproteomic Contributions, and Current Limitations, to Understanding Middle and Late Pleistocene Human Evolution". Thanks to all coauthors! paleoanthropology.org/ojs/index.ph...

SEE YOU THIS AFTERNOON (16:00 CET) 😀

Follow us here to stay up to date with the latest news from our new Archaeological Proteomics Lab at the University of Reading. We will keep you updated with news from our various projects and our current publications

Excited that our work from Ranis and Baishiya Karst Cave are anong top stories of 2024 scicomm.plos.org/2024/12/16/t...

Two very important papers released today on sapiens and neanderthal admixture

1. Neanderthal ancestry through time: Insights from genomes of ancient and present-day humans

www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

2. Earliest modern human genomes constrain timing of Neanderthal admixture

Summaries

I am very happy to share our new paper on the genetics of some of the first modern humans who ever lived in Europe! We sequenced nuclear DNA from 13 specimens from Ranis in Germany, and found that they belonged to at least 6 individuals. www.nature.com/articles/s41... (1/n)

I’ve created a starter pack for #zooarchaeology and #biomolecular archaeology for all periods. Let me know if you want to be added go.bsky.app/Nv8XE4r 🦣🧪🏺🦴🦷

💀❗️MARK YOUR CALENDARS❗️💀

Join us next Wednesday (Dec 4th) at 16:00 CET for @gentforanth.bsky.social's talk "The Highs and Lows of Proteomics in Forensics: my PhD Odyssey" as the next talk in our #PAASTACommunity seminar series!

We are looking forward to welcoming @brianapobiner.bsky.social for an online only #HEASSeminar in Human Evolution and the Palaeolithic next Monday the 2nd December at the later than normal time of 15:00 CET . Registration is on our website 🔗👇
