Osteoware
Osteoware is a free data recording software for human skeletal material run through the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. This software program is utilized by biological anthropologists to document data relevant to research studies and forensic applications regarding human skeletal remains in a standardized and consistent way. It has been the influence for other skeletal recording software, and was successful in collection of data records in relevance to biological anthropology at the Smithsonian. Osteoware is the only freely downloadable software program for individual use for data collection of skeletal material in anthropology.
== Uses ==
When analyzing a skeletal population or individual, the biological anthropologist collects various forms of data, ranging from metric analysis to taphonomic and pathological analysis. Osteoware is beneficial in that it organizes the range of data collected in a universal format. This is of further use for the anthropologist when they need to interpret their data. If the focus of the anthropologist's research is the dentition of the skeletal remains, Osteoware has a dental inventory for both deciduous, and permanent, or adult, dentition. Osteoware is particularly useful for archaeological sites or disaster sites that have commingled remains. One major issue regarding commingled remains, is how to document and organize the data associated with the commingling. Osteoware has two primary features that remedy this difficulty. On the home page, there is a button to add individuals in association with the main individual whom the data is being collected on. There is also a special function button that is advantageous for use when there is no associated main individual in the commingling or when one is unable to associate other skeletal remains with a specified main individual.
