ABSTRACT Ancient DNA research is on a trajectory of rapid growth and is becoming an increasingly important part of the archaeologist’s toolkit. In this paper, we situate the current relationship between ancient DNA and archaeology within the context of how other destructive scientific methods were incorporated into archaeological work. We discuss the need for discipline-wide standards for the destructive sampling of human remains for ancient DNA analysis and propose a set of best practices to aid collaborative teams in the challenging task of balancing the rich information provided by ancient DNA with the damage that sampling will cause to a skeletal specimen. Collaboration between archaeologists and ancient DNA specialists has contributed in new ways to the understanding of the human past, and the relationship between the researchers embedded in these disciplines will continue to develop and mature only through ongoing dialogue and engaged collaboration on topics such as destructive analysis.

在古基因组学革命中平衡分析目标和人类学管理

摘要古代DNA研究正处于快速发展的轨道上，正在成为考古学家工具包中越来越重要的一部分。在本文中，我们在将其他破坏性科学方法纳入考古工作的背景下，探讨了古代DNA与考古学之间的当前关系。我们讨论了对古代DNA分析中的人类遗体进行破坏性采样时需要采用全学科标准的建议，并提出一套最佳实践，以协助协作团队完成具有挑战性的任务，即平衡古代DNA提供的丰富信息与采样所带来的损害导致骨骼样本。考古学家和古代DNA专家之间的合作以新的方式促进了人们对人类过去的了解，
