Abstract:
aDNA-analyses are presented for ancient bones, teeth, soft tissues and dried body fluids. The implications and perspectives for Historical Anthropology are discussed. Methods are described on examples of molecular sex determination and kinship analysis. Finally, first amplifications of DNA-sequences from pathogenes of tuberculosis and plague from ancient skeletal material are reported.
