Abstract
The individualization of skeletal remains from multiple burials, as well as the kinship analysis between individuals buried together, is problematic, because frequently, these cases are related with LTD (Low Template DNA) samples.To deal with this kind of problems, where the kinship degree between the individuals is completely unknown, there has been developed an interesting tool called Blind search, in the context of the Familias 3.0 software. This tool is capable to assess randomly, kinship relationships between multiple STR (Short Tandem Repeats) profiles.We have performed an evaluation of the Blind Search tool of Familias 3.0, carrying out kinship analysis of the possible relationships between 39 individuals exhumed from 6 different multiple burials from archaeological sites among 3000–5000 years of antiquity located in Castilla y León (Central Spain). To evaluate the results, it was taken into account also the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotype of each individual.
