The Anthropology Museum houses several reference collections to support archaeological and ecological research. The largest of these is the Faunal Reference Collection. This collection helps researchers identify fragmentary animal remains by providing skeletons of known animal species for comparison. The Anthropology Museum’s Faunal Reference Collection includes over 200 specimens representing 50 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and mollusks common to Manitoba.
