  • High levels of consanguinity in a child from Paquimé, Chihuahua, Mexico

    Open AccessJakob W Sedig, Meradeth Snow et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2024References: 30

    Paquimé (also known as Casas Grandes), situated in northern Chihuahua between Mesoamerican and Ancestral Puebloan groups, was a vibrant multicultural centre during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries AD. Substantial debate surrounds the social organisation of Paquimé's inhabitants. Here, the authors report on the analysis of ancient DNA from a unique child burial beneath a central support post of a room in the House of the Well. They argue th…

  • The The Effects of Soft Tissue Removal Methods on Porcine Skeletal Remains

    Open AccessEmily Siobhan Tarbet Hust, Meradeth Snow et al.ARTICLENew Florida Journal of Anthropology2021

    Sus scrofa domesticus limbs were obtained as a human proxy to study the effects of five distinct materials used in published methods of flesh removal: Dermestes lardarius beetles (also referred to as dermestids), distilled-water boil, bleach boil, enzyme-based detergent simmer, and ammonia simmer. Each method was evaluated based on a set of specific criteria, focusing on time efficiency, macroscopic damage, and the effects on DNA preservation and…

  • Ancient mitochondrial DNA and ancestry of Paquimé inhabitants, Casas Grandes (A.D. 1200–1450)

    Open AccessAna Y Morales-Arce, Meradeth Snow et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…2017

    OBJECTIVES: The Casas Grandes (Paquimé) culture, located in the Northwest of Chihuahua, Mexico reached its apogee during the Medio Period (A.D. 1200-1450). Paquimé was abandoned by the end of the Medio Period (A.D. 1450), and the ancestry of its inhabitants remains unsolved. Some authors suggest that waves of Mesoamerican immigrants, possibly merchants, stimulated Paquimé's development during the Medio Period. Archaeological evidence suggests pos…

  • Stable dietary isotopes and mtDNA from Woodland period southern Ontario people

    Open AccessSusan Pfeiffer, Ronald F Williamson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science2013Cited by: 20References: 6

    Bioarchaeological research must balance scholarly commitment to the generation of new knowledge, descendants' interests in their collective past, and the now common practice of rapid re-interment of excavated human remains. This paper documents the first results of a negotiated protocol built on the retention of one tooth per archaeologically derived skeleton, teeth that can then be used for destructive testing associated with ancient DNA and sta…

  • Nondestructive sampling of human skeletal remains yields ancient nuclear and mitochondrial DNA

    Open AccessDeborah A Bolnick, Holly M Bonine et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…2012Cited by: 8References: 34

    Museum curators and living communities are sometimes reluctant to permit ancient DNA (aDNA) studies of human skeletal remains because the extraction of aDNA usually requires the destruction of at least some skeletal material. Whether these views stem from a desire to conserve precious materials or an objection to destroying ancestral remains, they limit the potential of aDNA research. To help address concerns about destructive analysis and to min…

  • Mitochondrial DNA of Protohistoric Remains of an Arikara Population from South Dakota

    Diana M Lawrence, Brian M Kemp et al.ARTICLEHuman Biology2010

    Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was extracted from skeletal remains excavated from three Arikara sites in South Dakota occupied between AD 1600 and 1832. The diagnostic markers of four mtDNA haplogroups to which most Native Americans belong (A, B, C, and D) were successfully identified in the extracts of 55 (87%) of the 63 samples studied. The frequencies of the four haplogroups were 42%, 29%, 22%, and 7%, respectively, and principal coordinates analys…
