Dear colleagues,
Transmitting Science is offering a new edition of the course “Proteomic Methods for Species Identification of Archaeological and Palaeontological Materials”
Dates and schedule: online live sessions on December 12th, 15th, 17th and 19th, 2025.
This course aims to introduce participants to palaeoproteomics and Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) as tools for species identification and biomolecular analysis of archaeological and palaeontological materials. The course will cover both the theoretical background and practical workflow of collagen fingerprinting, protein extraction, MALDI-TOF analysis, and peptide mass fingerprint interpretation.
By the end of the course, students will be able to: • Understand the biochemical basis and analytical principles of palaeoproteomics. • Apply ZooMS methodologies for species identification of archaeological/palaeontological specimens. • Recognize strengths, limitations, and suitable use-cases of collagen-based approaches. • Interpret peptide mass fingerprints and assess data quality. • Navigate practical workflows for sample preparation, lab protocols, and data processing.
Instruction will combine lectures, guided examples, and practical exercises.
