Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Species-level identification of goose remains from archaeological sites is confounded by the lack of morphometric criteria by which to differentiate the bones. This results in the loss of both palaeoecological and archaeological information. In order to address this problem an ancient DNA-based identification system which centres on the amplification of the first domain of the mitochondrial control region has been developed. This technique is used to identify remains from two archaeological sites in Lincolnshire, a post-medieval garderobe deposit from Vicars Court, Lincoln and the Anglo-Saxon settlement at Flixborough. >From Vicars Court domestic goose remains, and from Flixborough both domestic and pink-footed geese have been identified. Biometric analysis of the ancient DNA identified bones from Flixborough confirms that a large degree of size variation occurs within each species, supporting the use of ancient DNA in the identification of the remains. Histological analysis of a sub-sample of the bones from Flixborough confirms the previously suggested relationship between ancient DNA survival and histological preservation. | |
