Abstract
The Department for Bioarchaeology at the Austrian Archaeological Institute (ÖAI), Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW)
Highlights
The ÖAI has a strong technical-scientific emphasis, currently represented by the research fields of bioarchaeology and geoarchaeology, as well as material sciences and archaeometry
What distinguishes the ÖAI from other research institutions with biological anthropology, archaeozoology or archaeobotany, is the licenced excavations, which are organised as long-term research platforms, and are open to both national and international cooperation partners
After its foundation in 1898 (Kandler and Wlach, 1998), the ÖAI has seen a significant increase in interest in bioarchaeological research, mainly over the last sixty years
Summary
The ÖAI has a strong technical-scientific emphasis, currently represented by the research fields of bioarchaeology and geoarchaeology, as well as material sciences and archaeometry. What distinguishes the ÖAI from other research institutions with biological anthropology, archaeozoology or archaeobotany, is the licenced excavations, which are organised as long-term research platforms, and are open to both national and international cooperation partners. This creates a dynamic relationship between the archaeological sciences and archaeological excavation, permitting archaeologists and specialists the opportunity to integrate their work from the field to the laboratory. After its foundation in 1898 (Kandler and Wlach, 1998), the ÖAI has seen a significant increase in interest in bioarchaeological research, mainly over the last sixty years.
