ABSTRACT
This protocol describes how to obtain bone powder from the pars petrosa of disarticulated ossis temporalis, specifically dense parts around cochlea, in a minimally-invasive way by drilling outside. The has been shown consistently yield high amounts aDNA (Pinhasi et al. 2015 PLoS One, doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0129102).
