Reconstructing Migration Trajectories using ancient DNA by Larson, G

“…Here, I focus on the use of ancient DNA to delve beneath the migration palimpsests. …”

Paleogenomics of animal domestication by Irving-Pease, EK, Ryan, H, Jamieson, A, Dimopoulos, EA, Larson, GJ, Frantz, LAF

“…We discuss how the recovery of ancient DNA from archaeological remains is allowing researchers to overcome inherent shortcomings arising from the analysis of modern DNA alone. …”

Conclusion: The science of conflict by Schulting, RJ

“…The emphasis is on recent advances in the field of biomolecular archaeology applied to human remains, most notably isotopic analyses, ancient DNA and radiocarbon dating. These techniques have the potential to address crucial questions regarding skeletons demonstrating violent injuries, such as the identity and origins of those involved. …”

Coprolites, gut contents and molecular archaeoparasitology by Jones, AKG, Smith, AL

“…This chapter considers historical perspectives and practical aspects of the analysis of faecal material before considering parasitic infections and provides a brief discussion of the impact of modern ancient DNA (aDNA) methods on such studies. Well-preserved human gut contents are rare finds which elicit enormous scientific and public interest. …”

The genetic structure of the British populations and their surnames by Bodmer, W, Winney, B

“…<p> Until large-scale ancient DNA studies of archaeological samples become practical, genetic studies of current human populations, with a few caveats, are a productive way to investigate past movements of peoples (Røyrvik 2010). …”
