The osteology collection at the University of New Mexico is reputed to be
the second largest in the country (after the Smithsonian). It includes
both archeological material as well as an extensive forensic collection,
and also a sizable collection of remains willed to the department by
interested individuals. I know that at least a couple of our current
professors have provided that their demise their remains will go to the
osteology laboratory.
