The Environmental Archaeology Program’s modern comparative zoological collection includes over 12,000 individual specimens, representing major animal classes across multiple phyla such as Arthropoda, Chordata, Echinodermata, and Mollusca. The collection is particularly strong in specimens from Southeastern North America and the Caribbean, with growing representation from northwestern South America and Mesoamerica. Primarily supporting zooarchaeological research, the collection also serves as a valuable resource for biological and ecological studies.
