Abstract
he recovery of DNA from archaeological remains is now possible to realize due to the advances that have been made in the field. This kind of analysis offers a very important tool for the study of the genetic relationships of extinct organisms with their contemporary relatives. The study of ancient DNA (aDNA) is complex and involves technical problems because of the minutes amounts of DNA on the ancient samples and the risk of contamination. Therefore, stringent criteria to ensure the reliability of the results are very important, specially when human remains are studied.
