Ancient DNA linking burials!

Part of the Citadel in Mycenae, Greece

Looking at the article "Kinship between burials from Grave Circle B at Mycenae revealed by ancient DNA typing" by Bouwman, Brown, Prag, and Brown they discuss the Bronze Age citadel in Mycenae, Greece which uncovered thirty five people from 3500 years ago that had relations to someone else in that same site, suggesting that possibly that they were different branches of generations of families. This ancient site was originally studied by famous archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann beginning in the 1870's; he even thought that he had discovered Agamemnon. The two grave circles(A and B) are dated to around the late Mycenaean era and both the circles were laden with vast amounts of gold ornamentation and grave circle B contained a lot of weapons along with gold.  They seemed to be buried in what we call family plots. In the 1950's Dr. J.L. Angel decided that these faces needed to be reconstructed to may give a better familial resemblance. This was accompanied by some DNA testing via scraping bone and crushing it into powder though many of them were too old to be tested.

I personally enjoy their titles, I don't think that these ancient Greeks ever thought that one day in the far, far future that they would be referred to as "Beaky." They conclude with the thought that everyone thinks when they uncover burials with people buried in proximity to each other "Are they related?" which for me would be the first thought, I would have no doubt. I think that knowing how wealthy the people that they uncovered were plays a part in discovering kinship amongst the dead because of how their hierarchies worked (father to son etc.) I feel that figuring out kinship in burials is so wishy washy (excuse my language) because it can be interpreted in so many different ways. In todays culture finding kinship in burials seems to me to be much easier because of headstones and the use of family names on them or using family plots.
