for nearly a century. In contrast to the long tradition of biological anthropology research facilities,
archaeobotanical and archaeozoological positions only became established in a period from the 1970s
till the early 1990s. Forming a cornerstone of the Austrian Archaeological Institute’s integration process
into the Austrian Academy of Sciences, the establishment of ÖAI’s Department for Bioarchaeology in
2016 marks the first time in 40 years that such a bioarchaeological research unit has been successfully
established as new. The department unites researchers in archaeobotany, archaeozoology and biological
anthropology under the same roof, and is embedded into the research infrastructure of the country’s
largest non-university research institution.
