Physical anthropology faces a significant challenge as large skeletal collections are repatriated and buried pursuant to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. In an effort to salvage valuable scientific information, physical anthropologists have compiled protocols for the gathering of standardized data. The primary objective of this project is the creation of a computerized database system which will allow the entry, retrieval and storage of medical and osteological information recorded for human skeletal remains. The system implements the data standards developed by an NSF supported workshop held at the Field Museum in 1991. In addition to personal computer based versions of the system, an on-line INTERNET accessible national archive will be created with upload and download capabilities.

根据《美洲原住民坟墓保护和遣返法案》，由于大量骨骼收藏品被送回并埋葬，体质人类学面临着重大挑战。为了挽救有价值的科学信息，体质人类学家编写了收集标准化数据的协议。该项目的主要目标是建立一个计算机化的数据库系统，以便输入、检索和存储为人类骨骼遗骸记录的医疗和骨学信息。该系统执行1991年在菲尔德博物馆举行的由国家科学基金会资助的讲习班制定的数据标准。除了基于个人计算机的系统版本外，还将创建一个具有上传和下载能力的在线互联网国家档案馆。
