COLLECTION OF HUMAN REMAINS Department of Human Remains The Department of Human Remains is in charge of research, examining and cataloguing in a database each item identified up until now to facilitate easy access to the collections and control of the movement of these pieces inside and outside of the MNAAHP. At the moment we are beginning to carry out research based on important finds made in the mid 1990s in a sector of the district of Chorrillos in Lima, where human remains of a Chilean soldier were recovered with all his garments and complementary documentation. Also studies are underway of the five earliest specimens contained in the collection, the individuals from the collection from Lauricocha in the south of Peru. Complementary to these studies, the bioanthropological registry of funerary bundles and crania from the museum collection is an activity we have been promoting with the purpose of better documenting the museum's collections Services Attention to researchers interested in any of the museum's bianthropological collections and consultation in reference to research development.
