This model of the Denisova 11 Human Bone Fragment was found in 2014 in the Russian Altai region from the PalaeoChron project team.
A team from the PalaeoChron project, funded by the ERC and based in Oxford University, used a technique called Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) with colleagues at the University of Manchester and screened ~2400 bones to search for bone with hominin peptide markers.
This small fragment was the first hominin bone identified.
