IRLAB's 2026 Field Experience in Bioarchaology in Ohio - Harrison Township Cholera Cemetery.

"I am pleased to share with you information regarding IRLAB's 2026 Field Experience in Bioarchaology in Ohio. 

The Field Experience in Bioarchaology - offered in collaboration with the Department of Anthropology at The Ohio State University - is an outstanding opportunity for students to gain practical experience in bioarchaeological excavation by working on a historic cholera cemetery in central Ohio.

This program was developed to offer high-quality bioarchaeological excavation training in the US and at affordable rates. The field experience welcomes undergraduate and graduate students, as well as CRM and forensic science professionals interested in developing skills in the excavation of human remains. 

More information can be found at:

 www.irlabnp.org/field-experience-in-bioarchaeology/. 

The program is a partnership between IRLAB and the Department of Anthropology at The Ohio State University and managed by the Institute for Research and Learning in Archaeology and Bioarchaeology (IRLAB), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established to promote the advancement and diffusion of archaeological and bioarchaeological knowledge through research and education.

I am attaching a couple of flyers with QR codes to the program's webpage. I would appreciate it if you could share this information with your students and anyone else who may be interested in participating in this exciting project."
