In the Anthropology/Osteology lab, skeletal material can be studied in two spacious rooms furnished with large tables. A layer of PE foam film protects the fragile bones from damage, and lab coats as well as nitril gloves are available to avoid contamination of the bones with fibres or detergents as well as skin fats or cosmetics.Our teaching materials include various high-quality casts, and a part of the study collection of the Naturhistorisches Museum Basel. Thanks to this generous loan, we can teach osteology and variation in the human skeleton using original material, a privilege especially in the Rhineland where bone preservation is generally poor.
