We welcome researchers from around the world
Faunal collections are studied to identify relationships between humans and animals. The relationships are studied to identify ecological unknowns about prehistoric populations. Topics researched include diet, behavior and technology through food procurement and processing techniques, also, what role the environment plays in these interactions.

Taxonomic Collection
This collection includes specimens diagnostic to species and is organized by taxonomy.
