The department maintains a laboratory for preparation of bone samples e.g., isolation of collagen, apatite or bone mineral) with further chemical studies of bone carried out in the Isotope Science Laboratory in the Department of Physics (http://www.phas.ucalgary.ca/isl/) and other facilities on campus.  Current research interests include human health and nutrition, stable isotope ecology and paleodiet reconstruction, and paleodiet of prehistoric peoples from Cis-Baikal.
