This paper demonstrates the successful retrieval of palaeoproteomic data from bone fragments in resin-impregnated sediment blocks, enabling microstratigraphic taxonomic identification of Pleistocene faunal remains.

Genome-wide and isotopic data from prehistoric Sicilians reveal a pre-farming connection to (south-) eastern Europe, and tentative initial evidence that hunter-gatherers adopted some Neolithic aspects prior to near-total replacement by early farmers.
