Beschreibung

Illustrated thoroughly, Biomolecular Archaeology is the first book to clearly guide students through the study of ancient DNA: how to analyze biomolecular evidence (DNA, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates) to address important archaeological questions. * The first book to address the scope and methods of this new cross-disciplinary area of research for archaeologists * Offers a completely up-to-date overview of the latest research in this innovative subject * Guides students who wish to become biomolecular archaeologists through the complexities of both the scientific methods and archaeological goals. * Provides an essential component to undergraduate and graduate archaeological research

Rezensionen

--Eva-Maria Geigl, Université Paris Diderot
"This book is a perfect introduction into biomolecular archaeology not only for students interested in the field but also for experienced archaeologists, palaeontologists and archaeobiologists who engage in interdisciplinary research involving the analysis of biomolecules. It is written by one of the most prominent genomic textbook authors, Terry Brown, a pioneer in ancient DNA research and the origins of plant domestication. In this book, his qualities as both an excellent textbook writer as well as a brilliant molecular biologist merge to explain even the most advanced sequencing methods used in palaeogenomics in a way that is understandable for non-experts. The contribution of Keri Brown ensures that the book is relevant to researchers working in the field. Biomolecular Archaeology makes for an ideal manual for archaeologists and students eager to exploit the newest scientific developments to answer typical archaeological questions and better interpret the information buried in the archaeological sites they are working on."
--Linda Stone, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, Washington State University
"The study of ancient and extant biomolecules has revolutionized archaeological methodologies. This textbook is an excellent, user-friendly introduction to biomolecular techniques and applications for beginning students in archaeology and physical anthropology."
--A.M. Pollard, University of Oxford
"This is a timely and welcome contribution to the rapidly developing field of biomolecular archaeology, covering the basic science as well as an introduction to the applications. It will become essential reading."
--Matthew Collins, University of York
"There are fewer and fewer areas of archaeology which are immune to biomolecular analysis. Technological innovation combined with a greater understanding of molecular survival has increased reliability of analyses and interpretation, making biomolecular research amongst the fastest moving and most exciting areas in modern archaeology. This book, helped by its easy and accessible style, leads the reader in a logical progression from the molecules themselves to their application in the study of demography, diet, innovation and migration; it should be recommended reading for all new students of archaeology."
--Robert Tykot, University of South Florida
"The authors have done a stupendous job, with the scientific nature of DNA and other biomolecular studies understandable for archaeologists, and the archaeological applications of these methods clear to all."
