Millions of documents stored in archives could provide scientists with
the key to tracing the development of agriculture in the British Isles
over the last 700 years, according to new research at the University of
York and Trinity College Dublin.
Researchers in Dublin and York used the latest scientific techniques to
extract ancient DNA and protein from tiny samples of parchment from
documents from the late 17
th and late 18
th centuries. The resulting information enabled them to establish the species type of animals from which the parchment was made.

They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
