Tracing the Emergence of Pan-Indian Conventions of Dress in the Collections of the American Museum of Natural History (2017)

Drawing on archaeological and ethnographic records, historical documents, and...

Here we assess a recently published "non-destructive" DNA extraction protocol by Bolnick and colleagues in terms of the amount and quality of DNA extracted from a set of samples of even greater antiquity than those tested in the original analysis. DNA was successfully extracted from archaic period samples from the Eva...
