Abstract
Through this research we look for the best criterion to establish STR (Short Tandem Repeats) profiles from LTD (Low Template DNA) samples. Five different criteria have been proposed and evaluated for the interpretation of partial STR profiles from LTD samples, thus trying to establish the most reliable one. Specifically, 82Chalcolithic and Bronze Age samples have been employed. The 5 different criteria have been established, taking into account information such as the height of the peaks and the reproducibility of the results.Secondly, the kinship analysis among individuals buried together has been carried out. In this second part, it has also been taken into account the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis, to consolidate the STR results.
