The Archaeology of Human Bones provides an up to date account of the analysis of human
skeletal remains from archaeological sites, introducing students to the anatomy of bones …

Skeletal remains from archaeological and forensic contexts are commonly used for various
analyses, including DNA. Our research investigates relatively fast and inexpensive ATR …

Amelogenin genes are located on both X and Y sex chromosomes in humans and are a
major focus of DNA-based sex estimation methods. Amelogenin proteins, AMELX_HUMAN …

Paleogenetics has significantly changed since its inception almost forty years ago. Initially,
molecular techniques available to the researchers offered minimal possibilities for ancient …

Skeletal remains are commonly subjected to various analyses, including DNA. As the
remains are exposed to taphonomic processes after the death of the organism, their …

The petrous bone contains significantly higher amounts of DNA than any other human bone.
Because of highly destructive sampling and because it is not always part of the recovered …

Archaeothanatology goes beyond taphonomy and bones. It touches on cultural aspects,
funerary practices and their socio-cultural interpretation (cf. Knüsel and Schotsmans …

In this work, we have presented a new method for species origin verification of collagen
peptides based on DNA techniques. First, we investigate the changes in DNA during the …

Simple Summary Understanding bone diagenesis, or alteration, in juvenile and fetal
remains has important implications for forensic science. First, it can suggest information …

Significant variation exists in the molecular structure of compact and trabecular bone. In
compact bone full dissolution of the bone powder is required to efficiently release the DNA …
