Abstract
A recent publication evaluates microbial genome sequences from DNA isolated from ancient bones and compares these DNA sequences to those found in the surrounding soil. Although we need to be aware of environmental contamination when carrying out paleomicrobiological analyses, we should also realize that some samples do not contain their own microbiota and thus any microbial sequences observed can only come from the surrounding environment.
