Article Title:Ancient DNA in pre-Columbian archaeology: a review

Abstract:
Ancient DNA research from its inception in the 1980s is reviewed in the context of pre-Columbian archaeology. Changing approaches to the recovery of DNA from human remains are followed, and the accumulated records considered in the light of hypotheses about the post-Columbian depletion and augmentation of the New World gene pool.
