Histological and Metagenomic Analysis of Microbial Communities in Archaeological Human Bones

2025-12-23

Abstract excerpt

Buried archaeological bones tend to be heavily degraded by microorganisms. This type of biodegradation was already identified in the 19 th century and remains a subject of continuous investigation. Yet the specific processes are still not fully understood, and the specific organisms responsible for the decay have not been identified. Technological advances in genetic sequencing now allow detailed study of the bon...
