Created by FAME and funded by BioArCh, at the Department of Archaeology, University of York, this toolkit is an educational video series designed to help development-led archaeologists integrate biomolecular techniques into their project designs:
Film 1: Introduction & Overview – A guide to what the videos cover, strategic sampling protocols, and balancing scientific data with commercial budgets.
Film 2: Human Remains – Exploring how aDNA, stable isotopes, and proteomics unlock data on past diet, mobility, biological sex, and kinship.
Film 3: Non-Human & Environmental Remains – Investigating ancient economies, artefacts, and landscapes through lipid residues, ZooMS, seeds, and soil eDNA.
For a more expansive discussion of techniques, please see the recording of the workshop at the FAME Forum:
