Ancient DNA Typing is a comprehensive manual about the analysis of
ancient and degraded DNA. It is an equally useful textbook and
working tool for various disciplines such as: Anthropology,
Archaeology, Forensic Medicine, Conservation Biology, Environmental
Sciences and Food Engineering.
The reader benefits from a clear division of strategies, methods
and applications with many interesting examples of the analysis of
historic skeletal and cultural remains. The book contains a
detailed protocol chapter which serves as a lab manual with the
most important methods for DNA extraction, PCR and electrophoretic
analysis of degraded samples. The appendix helps to set up a PCR
lab specializing in ancient DNA research and answers the most
frequent questions concerning technical problems in investigations
of degraded DNA.

Ancient DNA refers to DNA which can be recovered and analyzed from clinical, museum, archaeological and paleontological specimens. Ancient DNA ranges in age from less than 100 years to tens of millions of years. The study of ancient DNA is a young field, but it has been revolutionized by the application of polymerase chain reaction technology, and interest is growing very rapidly. Fields as diverse as evolution, anthropology, medicine, agriculture, and even law enforcement have quickly found applications in the recovery of ancient DNA. This book contains contributions from many of the "first generation" researchers who pioneered the development and application of ancient DNA methods. Their chapters present the protocols and precautions which have resulted in the remarkable results obtained in recent years. The range of subjects reflects the wide diversity of applications that are emerging in research on ancient DNA, including the study of DNA to analyze kinship, recovery of DNA from organisms trapped in amber, ancient DNA from human remains preserved in a variety of locations and conditions, DNA recovered from herbarium and museum specimens, and DNA isolated from ancient plant seeds or compression fossils. Ancient DNA will serve as a valuable source of information, ideas, and protocols for anyone interested in this extraordinary field.
Erstmalig fur den deutschen Sprachraum wird ein methodisches
Kompendium vorgelegt, mit dessen Hilfe eine umfassende Bearbeitung
von historischen menschlichen Skelettresten ohne weiterfuhrende
Literatur moeglich ist. Dargestellt ist das gesamte gangige
methodische Repertoir von der Ausgrabung bis zur vergleichenden
Auswertung der Daten. Ein Schwergewicht liegt auf moderner
Laboranalytik (u.a. Spurenelement- und DNA-Analyse). Ziel und
Nutzen des Buchs sind, dass ein
Bearbeiter/Ratsuchender/Studierender allein mit dem vorliegenden
Werk seine Arbeit planen und durchfuhren kann. Hierzu dienen
besonders ausfuhrliche Rezepturen und Fallbeispiele, Illustrationen
und anatomische Abbildungen. Auf ungewoehnliche
UEberlieferungsformen menschlicher UEberreste (Leichenbrande,
Mumien, Moorleichen) wird ebenfalls und ausfuhrlich eingegangen.
