Abstract

Ancient DNA (aDNA) has emerged as a groundbreaking tool in the field of archaeology, providing insights into the movement of individuals and their goods. The field combines genetics, anthropology, and archaeology to reconstruct the intricate complexities of human history. Here, we discuss how ancient DNA analysis has the potential to enhance our understanding of historical mobility patterns in the Black Sea region, specifically in Dobrogea. We also offer broad guidelines and optimal practices that researchers should consider following when working with skeletal collections if they are interested in performing aDNA analyses. As aDNA methods advance and become more refined, we anticipate that our ability to unravel the intricate interplay between human mobility and cultural exchange in the past will also improve.
