OUTREACH

A secondary function of the lab includes identifications provided for police departments, conservation departments, coroners, museums, and individuals. The collections are frequently referred to by students and faculty of several departments within the university as well as by external institutions in pursuit of various specialized studies which include elements such as age, sex, size, geographic ranges, variations, pathologies, nutritional effects, butchering techniques, tool technologies, seasonal migrations, range extensions or reductions, and methods of preservation.

Tours, demonstrations, and talks are also available for local schools and other interested parties.
