Biomolecular Archaeology: An Introduction

T. A. Brown,Keri Brown

Description

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
