On the day before the start of the 11th ISBA meeting we are organising a hybrid one-day pre-conference meeting focused on palaeoproteomics.
The pre-conference will consist of three sessions:
Enamel-based sex determination
Method development
Applications
Additionally, we will take this opportunity to provide an overview of how PAASTA has grown during the last two years and present ongoing and upcoming PAASTA projects.
Last but not least, the elections for the next PAASTA steering committee will be opened during the conference.
Trying to improve communication between Archaeological Scientists and Archaeologists (for Palaeoproteomics)
This month Meaghan Mackie presents on best practices for communication between the archaeologists and archaeological scientists in order to facilitate collaborations.
Taxonomic selection strategies in the production of Early Neolithic bone objects, NE Iberian Peninsula
This month Jakob Hansen presents his work on identifiying species selection strategies for the production of Neolithic bone objects using ZooMS. This research has been published in PLOS One.
A User Guide for species identification using ClassiCOL
For the second month on a row the monthly talk focuses on a new bioinformatic tool for palaeoproteomic analysis. This month, Alex Burnett gives a demonstration on how to use ClassiCOL, a new tool to facilitate taxonomic identifications using LC-MS/MS data. ClassiCOL was recently published in the Journal of Proteome Research and the tool is freely accessible on Github.
PaleoProPhyler: a reproducible pipeline for phylogenetic inference using ancient proteins
During the monthly talk of March, Ioannis Patramanis presents his new tool for protein-based phylogenetic analysis and the associated opportunities and challenges. This research was published in the Peer Community Journal and the tool is freely accessible on Github.
