The protein-based technique gave superior results to DNA analysis in studying 55 sets of human remains between 300 and 2,300 years old. The work is published July 17 in <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-68550-w">Scientific Reports</a>.</p> July 17, 2020 - 1:30pm Andy Fell /curiosity/news/archaeologists-use-tooth-enamel-protein-show-sex-human-remains
