Osteoarchaeological Analysis - for osteological analysis of human remains in archaeology

All Ossafreelance osteologists are fully qualified and have proven extensive experience in the field. We analyse material from all periods and results are presented in relational databases in order for data to be easily integrated with associated features and finds. We aim to provide high quality analysis and can take a flexible approach to meet the needs of each individual project.

Ossafreelance encourages on-site consultation during excavation of human remains. This allows the maximum amount of information to be retrieved in the most efficient way. It also ensures that any Health and Safety or ethical issues concerning the removal of remains are dealt with professionally.
