Osteoware

Osteoware is a free data recording software for human skeletal material that is managed through the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. It is used by biological anthropologists to document data relevant to research and forensic applications of human skeletal remains in a standardized and consistent way.[1] It has influenced other skeletal recording software, and has been successfully used at the Smithsonian for collecting data relevant to biological anthropology.[2] Osteoware is the only free, individual-use software for the collection of data on skeletal material in anthropology.[3]
