Once upon a time, @fridowelker.bsky.social and I had an argument about if we need to decontaminate our samples or not. I'm not saying that I took things a bit too far with proving that I was right, but we have now published two papers on the topic 😬😂
Do you need to clean your teeth? And if so, how? 🦷
The answer is YES, at least for Pleistocene teeth. Here, we show you why that is the case, and find a couple of good methods: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
