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. Brown, T. A. and Brown, K. A. 1992: Ancient DNA and the Archaeologist, Antiquity 66: 10-23. Brown, T. A. 1999: How Ancient DNA May Help in Understanding the Origin and Spread of Agriculture, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London (B) 354: 89-98. Brown, K. 2000: 'Ancient DNA Applications in Human Osteoarchaeology: Achievements, Problems And Potential', In M. Cox and Mays, S. A. (ed.), Human Osteology in Archaeology and Forensic Science, London: Greenwich Medical Media, pp.455-473 Brown, K. A. and Pluciennik, M. 2001: Archaeology and Human Genetics: Lessons for Both, Antiquity 75: 101-106. Evison, M. P. 1996: Genetics, Ethics and Archaeology, Antiquity 70: 512-514. Hardy, C., Casane, D., Vigne, J. D., Callou, C., Dennebouy, N., Mounolou, J. C. and Monnerot, M. 1994: Ancient DNA from Bronze Age Bones of European Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), Experientia 50: 564-570. Haynes, S., Jaarola, M. and Searle, J.
