"The study of ancient and extant biomolecules has
revolutionized archaeological methodologies. This textbook is an
excellent, user-friendly introduction to biomolecular techniques
and applications for beginning students in archaeology and physical
anthropology."
Linda Stone, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, Washington
State University
"This is a timely and welcome contribution to the rapidly
developing field of biomolecular archaeology, covering the basic
science as well as an introduction to the applications. It will
become essential reading."
A.M. Pollard, University of Oxford
"There are fewer and fewer areas of archaeology which are immune
to biomolecular analysis. Technological innovation combined with a
greater understanding of molecular survival has increased
reliability of analyses and interpretation, making
biomolecular research amongst the fastest moving and most
exciting areas in modern archaeology. This book, helped by its easy
and accessible style, leads the reader in a
logical progression from the molecules themselves to their
application in the study of demography, diet, innovation and
migration; it should be recommended reading for all new students of
archaeology."
Matthew Collins, University of York
"The authors have done a stupendous job, with the scientific
nature of DNA and other biomolecular studies understandable for
archaeologists, and the archaeological applications of these
methods clear to all."
Robert Tykot, University of South Florida
