We present the analysis of an osseous finger ring from a predominantly early Neolithic context in Denmark. To characterise the artefact and identify the raw material used for its manufacture, we performed micro-computed tomography (Micro CT) scanning, zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry (ZooMS) pept...

We present the analysis of an osseous finger ring from a predominantly early Neolithic context in Denmark.

We conclude that the ring was made from long bone or antler due to the presence of osteons (Haversian canals).

We then used LC-MS/MS analysis to refine our species identification, confirming that the ring was made from Cervus elaphus, and to examine the rest of the proteome.
