<h4>Background</h4>After over a decade of developments in field collection, laboratory methods and advances in high-throughput sequencing, contamination remains a key issue in ancient DNA research. Currently, human and microbial contaminant DNA still impose challenges on cost-effective sequencing and accurate interpretation of ancient DNA data.<h4>Results</h4>Here we investigate whether human contaminating DNA can be found in ancient faunal sequencing datasets. We identify variable levels of hum ...[more]
