The laboratory is pleased to be working with the Native American Graves
and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) in the relocation of the prehistoric remains
to their rightful descendants. The prehistoric remains are presently undergoing inventories to ensure that as little information as possible will be lost with the repatriation of remains.

Currently we house a documented osteological collection of over 255 modern individuals of various backgrounds. The Laboratory of Human Osteology also participates in forensic work through our close working relationship with the
State of New Mexico's Office of the Medical Investigator.
