我们应用最近开发的胶原蛋白多肽质量指纹图谱方法对来自土耳其东南部多穆兹特佩新石器时代遗址的111个标本进行了动物遗骸的分类鉴定。已发表技术的进步使我们能够超越主要的家养动物(绵羊、山羊、猪和牛)，包括非家养动物(鹿和瞪羚，以及人类)。由于多穆兹特佩的动物经济以家养绵羊和山羊为主，所以大量被测试的样本是形态上无法区分的绵羊和山羊的遗骸。一些样本代表了提供年龄(即下颌骨)或性别(骨盆)信息的元素；因此，这是试图利用胶原指纹技术改善死亡情况的第一项重大研究。我们还表明，从牙本质中提取的胶原蛋白与骨胶原蛋白一样，对所提出的方法具有同样的适应性。
We applied a recently developed method of collagen peptide mass fingerprinting for taxonomic identification in faunal remains to 111 specimens from the Neolithic site of Domuztepe in southeastern Turkey. Advances on the published technique allow us to move beyond the key domesticated fauna (sheep, goat, pig and cattle) to include non-domesticates (deer and gazelle, as well as humans). As the animal economy of Domuztepe was dominated by domestic sheep and goats, a large number of the samples tested were morphologically indistinguishable sheep/goat remains. A number of samples represented elements that provide information on age (i.e., mandibles) or sex (pelvis); thus, this represents the first major study to attempt to improve kill-off profiles using collagen fingerprinting. We also show that the collagen extracted from dentine is equally amenable to the proposed methodology as bone collagen.
