The combined use of multiple omics allows to study complex interrelated biological
processes in their entirety. We applied a combination of metabolomics, lipidomics and …

Bone is a hard biological tissue and a precious reservoir of information in forensic
investigations as it retains key biomolecules commonly used for identification purposes …

Metabolomics, the study of metabolites (small molecules of< 1500 daltons), has been
posited as a potential tool to explore the past in a comparable manner to other omics, eg …

The determination of the post-mortem interval (PMI) and post-mortem submersion interval
(PMSI) is essential for criminal investigations. It makes use of important data like the cause …

Bone and teeth, specialised bio-mineralized connective tissues, are left after the typical
decomposition process of any vertebrate organism. Their analysis can reveal insights into …

The assessment of the potential blurring effect of diagenetic processes represents the
greatest challenge for geochemists whose purpose is to reconstruct environmental …

The evaluation of bone diagenetic phenomena in archaeological timescales is well
established, but little is known about the extent of bone diagenesis in short forensic …

Metabolomics is a modern tool that aids in our understanding of the molecular changes in
organisms. Archaeological science is a branch of archaeology that explores different …

The brain is thought to be among the first human organs to decompose after death. The
discovery of brains preserved in the archaeological record is therefore regarded as unusual …

Rationale Stable isotope analysis of bone provides insight into animal foraging and allows
for ecological reconstructions over time, however pre‐treatment is required to isolate …
