New Perspectives and Collaborations on the Ancestral Biology of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe
New Perspectives and Collaborations on the Ancestral Biology of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe Cara Monroe, Monica V. Arellano, and Alan Leventhal KEY WORDS Muwekma, Ohlone, Community-Based Archaeology, California Archaeology, Cultural Resource Management, Indigenous Archaeology, Collaboration, Isotopes, Bioarchaeology, Proteomics, Metabolomics Over the past three decades, there has been a growing emphasis on community archaeology or community-based ar…
Constrained Agency while Negotiating Spanish Colonialism
Spanish colonial rule in Peru was marked by dramatic changes to indigenous mortuary customs, bodily practices, and morbidity profiles. However, that era of transformation was not solely shaped by Spanish policies; Native Andeans creatively negotiated with those newcomers, sculpting novel practices that sometimes integrated, and other times challenged, the Spanish agenda. Theoretical perspectives on the constrained agency of indigenous communities…
Genetic Diversity and Relationships of Tlingit Moieties
The Tlingit from Southeast Alaska belong to the Northwest Coast cultural tradition, which is defijined by regionally shared sociocultural practices. A distinctive feature of Tlingit social organization is the matrilineal exogamous marriage system among clans from two opposite moieties: the Raven/Crow and Eagle/Wolf. Clan and moiety membership are determined by matrilineal descent, and previous genetic studies of Northwest Coast populations have s…
Evaluation of methods that subdue the effects of polymerase chain reaction inhibitors in the study of ancient and degraded DNA
One of the key characteristics of ancient DNA, low copy number, may be a product of its extraction
How Much DNA Is Lost? Measuring DNA Loss of Short-Tandem-Repeat Length Fragments Targeted by the PowerPlex 16® System Using the Qiagen MinElute Purification Kit
The success in recovering genetic profiles from aged and degraded biological samples is diminished by fundamental aspects of DNA extraction, as well as its long-term preservation, that are not well understood. While numerous studies have been conducted to determine whether one extraction method was superior to others, nearly all of them were initiated with no knowledge of the actual starting DNA quantity in the samples prior to extraction, so the…
Brief communication
In this study, we explore the geographic and temporal distribution of a unique variant of the O blood group allele called O1v G542A , which has been shown to be shared among Native Americans but is rare in other populations. O1v G542A was previously reported in Native American populations in Mesoamerica and South America, and has been proposed as an ancestry informative marker. We investigated whether this allele is also found in the Tlingit and …
Exploring prehistory in the North American southwest with mitochondrial DNA diversity exhibited by Yumans and Athapaskans
A recent study of mitochondrial DNA variation in Native American populations from the American Southwest detected signatures of a population expansion of subhaplogroup B2a, dated to 2,105 years before present (99.5% confidence interval, 1,273–3,773 YBP), following the introduction and intensification of maize agriculture in the region. Only one Yuman group and no Athapaskan speakers were analyzed in previous studies. Here we report mtDNA haplogro…
Clovis Age Western Stemmed Projectile Points and Human Coprolites at the Paisley Caves
They Walked Together Paisley Cave in Oregon provides some of the earliest evidence for humans in North America. Jenkins et al. (p. 223 ) provide a wide variety of additional evidence of early human occupation of this site, including a series of radiocarbon ages extending back to nearly 12,500 radiocarbon years ago (about 14,500 calendar years ago). The find includes examples of projectile points representative of the Western Stemmed Tradition dat…
