Available methods to identify species from fragmented archaeological bone and remains suffer a trade-off between cost and resolution. Here, the authors present a workflow that uses automated sample preparation, 10 to 20 times faster data acquisition, and computerized data interpretation to make the technology applicable to large-scale studies.
