This article explores how the competitive quest for bone samples used in genomic analyses of ancient DNA (aDNA) creates a pressing concern for anthropological research. It investigates the premises and effects of this phenomenon-a global hunt for petrous bones as treasured sources of DNA resembling a gold fever-from the situated perspectives of archaeologists and curators of ancient human remains. We present findings from an anonymous questionnai…
