TRANSYLVANIA BIOARCHAEOLOGY
A non-profit organization
MISSION STATEMENT
Transylvania Bioarchaeology is a collective of accredited university and industry professionals that provide participant-focussed training and research within Transylvania and associated regions. We assist the wider community in understanding and appreciating the rich the potential of bioarchaeology and forensic archaeology as achieved through systematic and ethical investigations of the archaeological and historical records.
In conjunction with the Romanian Institute of Archaeology, the University of Derby (UK), and the Turing Scheme, our international and local collective endeavours to support the education and research interests of participants, who wish to expand their knowledge and/or skills in bioarchaeology, human osteology, and forensic anthropology/archaeology, and offers opportunities (mentorship and sponsorship) to undertake their own research in the field.
For more information on our ethics codes and policies, please visit our Ethics and Policies page.
We offer personalised training in bioarchaeological and forensic archaeological excavation techniques and recording methods for all participants.
We also train participants in the full range of post-excavation analyses of the human skeletal remains they excavate in a laboratory environment.
In addition to field and lab work, we offer a truly unique experience that takes participants off-site and through the amazing Transylvania region of Romania.
