It is found that ancient human DNA can be recovered from archaeological sediments. A team of researchers from Leipzig's Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology recently released a study in which they investigated DNA preservation in sediment on a microscopic level. They found DNA samples of ancient humans from the retrieved samples of archeological sediments. Researchers effectively managed to retrieve DNA from a collection of sediment blocks prepared as long as 40 years ago from sites in Europe Breaking News and Coronavirus News here.

The method described in the study allows for extremely localised micro-scale sediment sampling for DNA studies and demonstrates that ancient DNA is not equally distributed in the sediment and that certain sediment characteristics are more favourable to ancient DNA preservation than others.
