Today?s scientific advances make it possible to extract fascinating information from biological traces left in archaeological remains. The analysis of ancient proteins uses cutting-edge technologies from the biomedical and chemical sciences to explore the past in a whole new light.
This approach makes it possible to reconstitute the invisible: to identify human or animal species from bones, to reveal the contents of archaeological pottery, to reconstruct ancient culinary recipes, to identify trade routes between distant cultures and ancient trade networks, or to unlock the secrets behind the manufacture of painted plaster.
But it goes even further: by comparing these proteins with those of present-day species, tracing the evolution of extinct species and exploring their links with today?s world
