Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The practical course in Palaeoproteomics is offering students hands-on experience working with archaeological samples. We will cover basic methods of including sampling bones, followed by the application of wet chemistry protocols for the extraction and purification of proteins, and finally the mass spectrometric analyses of real samples.
The course starts with a brief introduction followed by laboratory exercises, and will end with a short presentation to the class of the new findings.

If students are interested in registering for the practical after the new schedule is published, please let the course organiser know (Prof. Douka).
