Human Evolutionary Study

Osteology Laboratory

The Museum of Anthropology maintains an osteology laboratory with an extensive collection of hominin comparative casts and animal skeletal material for the Human Evolutionary Studies Laboratory. Faunal collections include both complete and fragmentary skeletons that students of anthropology, forensics, biology, and anatomy can use to sharpen their osteological identification skills.
