Abstrakt:	Diagnosing diabetes in archaeological human remains is a difficult task. Molecular methods can provide additional information that can help the paleopathologists come closer to a correct diagnostic. A set of skeletal remains from the Suplacu de Barcău (Romania) archaeological site, dated to the Neolithic period, displays pathological changes that indicate diabetes. This would become the oldest documented case of diabetes. This paper describes the strategy we designed for further ancient DNA analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
