PAASTA community
@paastacommunity
PAASTA (Palaeoproteomics And Archaeology, Society for Techniques and Advances) is an open, collaborative ECR-driven community for palaeoproteomics researchers!
As we are aware that not everyone is always very active on Slack, we have started an email list! If you would like to receive emails about PAASTA meetings, seminars, and other important information, please sign up here: forms.gle/knPT1CtzyGRNAN…
We are already looking forward to tomorrow's talk! (and hoping to see you there) 👀
🍝Our next PAASTA Seminar Series talk will be next week Wednesday 02 July at 15:00 CET! 🍝 Miranda Evans will be presenting "The Proteomics of Pottery: What can dirty dishes tell us about ancient diet and cuisine?" As always, DM us for the Zoom link to join!
📢 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?si… 📄 We also created a summary document that can be downloaded on the IZAZ website: izaz2024.sciencesconf.org
Two great new studies out in @Nature today, pushing back the recovery of dental enamel proteins to 21+ million years in the Arctic (doi.org/10.1038/s41586…) and 18+ million years in East Africa (doi.org/10.1038/s41586…) #palaeoproteomics!
Registration is open for the 11th #AGPM @ICAZ_News meeting taking place this October in Copenhagen! We're looking forward to four days of #archaeozoology #aDNA #morphometrics & #palaeoproteomics. ⬇️Register here: sites.google.com/palaeome.org/1…
⚱️Still time to get the Zoom link to join us this afternoon! ⚱️

Fortunately if you were unable to make it in person, we see a link to Fazeelah's talk on YouTube provided here!
Grateful for the opportunity to plant the seed of paleoproteomics in Pakistan 🇵🇰 by presenting on one of the most accessible public platforms with broad outreach. Excited to see the curiosity it’s sparking! 🧬🦴 youtube.com/live/5QdN-zy_1… @PUSHH_ETN #Pakistan @paastacommunity

I am proud that I've been awarded a DFF Sapere Aude grant by the 🇩🇰 @DFF_raad to conduct #palaeoproteomics research in Central Eurasia for the next 3 years! #MiddleEarth. Soon more information on #postdoc/#researchassistant positions! dff.dk/en/about-the-f…
🚨Registration has been opened and a preliminary programme are now available on our website for those of you keen to join us in person or virtually on the 26th of August for the pre-ISBA PAASTA Conference! paasta-community.github.io/events/2025/08…
There's still time to submit your questions to this highly anticipated upcoming event!
We are hosting a free online ‘Ask Us Anything’ event as part of the Integrating ZooMS and Zooarchaeology workshop series. For more info and to submit questions: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… 📅 Date: June 30, 2025 🕒 Time: 15:00 CET 📍 Location: Online (link: univ-tlse2.zoom.us/j/97758052124?…)
Last week Meaghan Mackie provided us with an excellent talk about the challenges faced when bridging archaeology and archaeological sciences, fortunately if you missed it, her talk is now available on our YouTube! youtu.be/qZ_RRNPBFO4?si…
In case anyone missed Alexandra Burnett's talk on using the ClassiCOL tool, it's now live on our YouTube channel! :youtu.be/CA36dn_zKfs?si…
We're just one hour away from this talk, this is your last chance to get in touch for a Zoom link!!
The next talk in our #PAASTACommunity seminar series will be next week Wednesday 06 June at 16:00 CET! And while none of these talks are to be missed, Meaghan will be broaching a really important topic for working in palaeproteomics!
We have a bioarch + theory session at @TAG2025_York this year! To submit an abstract find our session “Molecular theory or Theoretical Mooecules” tag2025.hosted.york.ac.uk/en/call-for-pa…
Happening this week!!!

We did something creative! Supported by the @ERC_Research @MSCActions and @TheLeakeyFndtn, we compared protocols for removing protein contamination for skeletal #palaeoproteomics!⬇️
New publication! 🎉 Here you can read all about dog drool, bleach, and a probable Central Asian Neanderthal child: doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.…
Certainly an event no one will want to miss!! 👀
