Paleo-proteomic analysis of Iron Age dental calculus provides direct evidence of Scythian reliance on ruminant dairy The Scythians, often described as mounted horse-back warriors of the Iron Age steppe with lavish burial goods, have attracted increasing scientific interest over the past years. Recent genetic and mul...

A new study by Jaruschka Pecnik, @ancientproteins.bsky.social and colleagues provides paleo-proteomic evidence that Iron Age Scythians consumed dairy from ruminants and, in at least one case, horses, based on milk proteins preserved in dental calculus.

MALDI Deamidation Score (MDS): A Fast and Flexible Method for Assessing Deamidation in ZooMS Data and Its Application to the Denisova Cave Bone Assemblage Estimating deamidation from MALDI-TOF MS spectra of bones has most frequently been achieved using the q2e method due to its high-throughput capacity and ease of use. Despite this accessibility, q2e is...
