Investigating species composition in the Early Aurignacian of Le Piage (France) through collagen fingerprinting (ZooMS) of screen-recovered small bone fragments

This link supplements the paper "Investigating species composition in the Early Aurignacian of Le Piage (France) through collagen fingerprinting (ZooMS) of screen-recovered small bone fragments" published in Paleoanthropology (https://paleoanthropology.org/ojs/index.php/paleo) We analysed with ZooMS (Zooarchaeology by mass Spectrometry) 1,050 bone fragments recovered through water sieving from an Early Aurignacian layer (37–34 ka cal. BP) in the site of Le Piage (Lot, France) to compare the taxonomic identifications of bone remains using traditional morphological attributes with remains identified using ZooMS, and discuss the implications of the taxonomic patterns that we uncovered. This page contains mzXml files of the spectra obtained and analysed within the scope of the published paper. The files are classified by runs, and the excel sheet entitled "Sample location (spectrum n°) in MS analyses" stipulates which mzXML files correspond to which specimen. This page also contains the simplified database reporting the identifications obtained through peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) and a breakdown of deamidation values calculated with the Betacalc 3 published in Wilson et al. (2012). For any questions please contact Pauline Raymond ([e-mail]).Please use the DOI when citing this dataset.
