Performance of Two Custom Probe Kits for In‐Solution Enrichment of Ancient Avian DNA

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis remains challenging due to low endogenous DNA content of degraded samples. Hybridisation‐based in‐solution enrichment has emerged as an effective tool for targeting genomic regions, enhancing endogenous DNA yield while minimising overall sequencing effort.

The Human Remains From the MIS 6 Site of Grotta Del Poggio (Cilento, Southern Italy): A Taxonomic and Chronological Reassessment

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 188, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives Grotta del Poggio is a key site for exploring the Middle Paleolithic in southern Italy, as it contains a pivotal anthropogenic deposit, mainly attributed to MIS 6, while in the Metal Ages, the cavity was used as a burial place. Excavations in the cave's deposit led to the discovery of a human molar and a human talus.

LiDAR‐Based Storytelling About a Historical Industrial Landscape in Southern Middle Tennessee

American Anthropologist, Volume 127, Issue 4, Page 817-832, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Industrial landscapes play deep into the imagination of American consciousness, with coal mining rooted in Appalachian culture as both identity and political flashpoint. In Tennessee, coal mining coincided with the convict leasing system that operated across the American South during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
