Parasitic infections and resource economy of Danish Iron Age settlement through ancient DNA sequencing.
In this study, we screen archaeological soil samples by microscopy and analyse the samples by next generation sequencing to obtain results with parasites at species level and untargeted findings of plant and animal DNA. Three separate sediment layers of an ancient man-made pond in Hoby, Denmark, ran...
