Immunochemistry applied to archaeology

Article Abstract:

Immunochemistry refers to the use of antibody-antigen reactions in detecting and quantifying specific compounds. In archaeology, immunochemistry is used to ascertain the presence of biological compounds in materials from archaeological finds. Immunochemistry's archaeological applications include demonstrating protein survival in fossil species such as dinosaurs, detecting proteins in archaeological human bone and or mummified tissue and identifying blood residue proteins in stone tools and pigments in rock art.
