More intensive on-site sampling can also be arranged to recover and process samples by flotation and wet sieving. Laboratory based extraction and analysis of data uses various statistical and computer graphic packages. Sample processing can be arranged in such a way as to recover several categories of material from the same set of procedures, thus reducing costs. Research experience ranges from the North Atlantic through Britain and North West Europe to the Middle East, Central Asia and the Mediterranean. Faunal Remains Animal bones recovered from excavations are studied in the Department's Faunal Laboratory.
Facilities exist to clean and mark bones and to identify and sort remains.
Analysis is assisted by extensive comparative collections. Our consultants offer pre-excavation advice on strategy, a full forensic excavation service, scientific analysis and conservation of remains, and quality human skeletal reports.
