Really excited to share the preprint for @halbevi.bsky.social and I’s new paper! Lithic tools from the Mesolithic and Neolithic were analysed with palaeoproteomics, use-wear, radiocarbon and optical microscopy residue analyses to find evidence of bovine butchery!
Palaeoproteomics reveals bovine carcass processing with 6,000-year-old flint tools https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.09.29.679186v1
