| Summary: | Whereas the DNA of humans has been in focus of archaeological research since some decades, the composition of soil bacterial communities attracts interest as an additional information source, recently. It can be exploited by NGS and can report about the change of soil by human impacts in the past and hints to formerly activities as prehistoric settlements, livestock breeding, craft, and ancient mining. Here, the potential of NGS of soil bacteria for archaeological research is illustrated by typical examples. |
