SI and ZooMS spectra Cassenade (MALDI-TOF-MS)

Supplementary Information (SI) for the paper:

Ruebens, K., Discamps, E., Smith, G. M., Hublin, J-J. Integrating ZooMS and zooarchaeology to assess the Châtelperronian and carnivore occupations at Cassenade (Dordogne, France), published in the gold open access journal PaleoAnthropology.

SI 1: individual raw data files (10 .zip files with 2,550 mzxml files, representing 840 bone samples and 10 blanks, each spotted in triplicate, organised in 10 MALDI runs)

SI 2: excel database listing information on plate number, MALDI run and triplicates (spot location), the identified peptide markers and ZooMS identifications (Barcode ID).

SI 3: excel database with ZooMS identifications, zooarchaeological data (incl. body size classes) and taphonomic observations

SI 4: excel database with the spatial coordinates for the piece-plotted bone fragments

SI 5: tables for the statistical tests

SI 6: R script used for making the figures and statistical tests

Note: samples CAS-190-248 relate to bone fragments from old excavations which are not reported in this paper so not included in this database. 

Note: All samples were extracted using an AmBic protocol, except for samples 856-876 which were demineralised using HCl.
