One last interview: molecular tracking of a piece of bone from a pre-hispanic context
Abstract
With the intention of bringing all the actors and spectators closer look to the transformations that a bone fragment undergoes, from its departure from the microenvironment in its archaeological context to becoming part of the discussion of a published article or book, in this section the author guides us through all the analytical steps, complementing with photographic material to make the experience of ancient DNA accessible beyond articles and reports to the general public, this in order to expose the journey that unites the bone piece with its participation in the scientific discussion.
