The structure, properties and decay of osseous materials in a variety of environments will be introduced. Characteristic features of each material will be described and a methodology given for their identification using non-destructive techniques. A practical session will provide the opportunity to identify selected groups of objects (using microscopes), with photomicrographs and a reference collection being available to aid this study.
