I looked at DNA in zooarchaeology as a part of my Masters research, which I
hope to publish sometime fairly soon. In the meantime, here are a random
selection of some useful papers I came across. In particular, anything by
the Browns gives a useful insight into the articulation of genetics and
archaeology.
Adalsteinsson, S. 1989: The Origin of the Icelanders and their Farm Animals,
North Atlantic Studies, the Faroe Islands 1: 57-61.
Allen, M. S., Matisoo-Smith, E. and Horsburgh, A. 2001: Pacific "Babes":
Issues in the Origins and Dispersal of Pacific Pigs and the Potential of
Mitochondrial DNA Analysis, International Journal of Osteoarchaeology 11:
4-13.
Barnes, I., Young, J. P. W. and Dobney, K. M. 2000: DNA-based Identification
of Goose Species from Two Archaeological Sites in Lincolnshire, Journal of
Archaeological Science 27: 91-100.

Spread of Agriculture, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of

Hope that helps
