Kin and connection: Ancient DNA between the science and the social

该项目旨在利用日益丰富的古代DNA数据，在社会考古学和科学考古学之间建立桥梁。它希望通过将遗传数据与亲属关系的社会模型相结合，将一种创新的跨学科方法应用于史前欧洲独特的丰富和文献完备的考古记录，从而创造新的知识。预期的结果包括一个理解过去亲属关系的新框架和一个新的跨学科和国际研究网络的形成。重大的好处包括增加遗产收藏的价值，考古学的能力建设，以及将澳大利亚定位在古代DNA和考古科学重大发展的前沿。

This project aims to capitalise on the emerging wealth of ancient DNA data to build bridges between social and scientific archaeologies. It expects to create new knowledge by integrating genetic data with social models of kinship, applying an innovative, cross-disciplinary methodology to the uniquely rich and well-documented archaeological record of prehistoric Europe. Expected outcomes include a new framework for understanding past kinship and the formation of a new interdisciplinary and international research network. Significant benefits include increased value of legacy collections, capacity building in archaeology, and positioning Australia at the forefront of major developments in ancient DNA and archaeological science.
