My research focuses on utilizing ZooMS (Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry) to analyze faunal assemblages from key prehistoric sites across Eurasia, including Vogelherd, Lusakert, and Chogha Golan. By integrating ZooMS with traditional zooarchaeological data, I investigate specific subsistence strategies and human-animal interactions in these regions. Additionally, I am interested in studying protein deamidation (a Post-translational Modification) as an indicator of preservation, as well as developing ZooMS markers for identifying extinct species in East Asia.
