Abstract
aDNA typing will enable reliable kinship analysis for prehistoric grou ps and populations. Examples are given for the PCR based amplification of alleles of the human short tandem repeat loci HUMVWA31/A and HUMTH 01 from ancient teeth and bone samples. Methodological obstacles and i mprovements are presented and discussed. On focus are aDNA storage, re producibility and reliability of aDNA amplification and allel determin ation as basic prerequisites for kinship reconstruction.
