Institiute Of Antropology Polish Academy Of Sciences

The Institute of Anthropology, Polish Academy of Sciences has rich and unique osteological collection mainly from Poland.  Part of collection was donated by the now non-existent Institute of Anthropological Sciences in Warsaw.  Also bones from Ukraine, Africa and Asia form a part of collection.  The skeletal collection is dated from the Neolithic time until the 20th century, but most of the pieces are from the Medieval era.  The collection suffered from massive flood of 1997.  In the years 2005-2006 thanks to the generous financial support of the Foundation for Polish Science, the collection was preserved and organized.
