Abstract
We report the use of a mobile laboratory set up to extract ancient DNA (aDNA) from 34 human coprolites (fossilized faeces) samples. Our approach enabled the rapid genetic characterization of 5,000 years old archeological samples. It is useful for the on-site screening of museums and freshly excavated samples for DNA. This approach is accessible to other investigators as the mobile laboratory was set up using commercially available instruments. Keywords: Ancient DNA, mobile laboratory, archeological samples, coprolites
