人类遗骸 & 骨学

HUCAS has experts in osteological identification and analysis who can provide biological profiles for individual or commingled human remains. 除了, we can conduct bone chemistry analyses for geographic origin, 住宅的历史, and dietary reconstruction. 

We are able to identify bone as human or non-human for your 年龄ncy. 

Many bones can be identified through photographs and video. 联络我们: hucas@315gdc.com or 612-434-5783. 

If the bone is not identifiable through a photograph or video, you can transfer the material to us for identification. 

转移过程

We request that you contact us in advance (hucas@315gdc.com or 612-434-5783) and include any relevant information either in the container with the bone to be identified, or electronically in advance of drop-off. Depending on the situation, you may be asked to fill out and return a form for our records. 请将车停在 E号停车场. An employee can meet you there to receive the material. 

Burial assessment and recovery

Our staff is experienced in performing burial assessments to determine the presence of burial grounds and prevent disturbance or displacement of human remains. In the event of inadvertent disturbance of burials, HUCAS staff has experience in the respectful recovery of human remains in order to facilitate reburial. 

Within the past decade, HUCAS has performed numerous recoveries of displaced human burials in locations throughout Minnesota. These include multi-year efforts as well as smaller-scale recoveries. We work in close consultation with the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council, the Minnesota Office of the State Archaeologist, and descendant communities.

教育

As part of Hamline University, the Center for Anthropological 服务 provides support for many of the anthropological and archaeological methods courses offered by the Department of Humans, Climate and the Environment, including an annual field school (ANTH 3730).

The Center is also able to provide specialized instruction to expand your organization's skill set, including artifact and skeletal identification. 联络我们: hucas@315gdc.com or 651-523-2891 to discuss your training goals.
