Laboratories

CRIA has four laboratories that support ongoing research, store and process information and specimens gathered by the researchers, host training activities, and promote the dissemination of research results among the academic community, the civil society and the social groups that participated in the investigations.

Laboratory Jill Rosemary Dias

In tribute to Jill Rosemary Dias’ academic path, the laboratory JRD intends to encourage research on the intersections between Anthropology, History and Photography, particularly but not exclusively in African contexts.

Audiovisual Laboratory

The Audiovisual Laboratory has facilities at both NOVA FCSH and ISCTE-IUL divisions and supports the study of visual aspects related to cultural practices and display by offering technical equipment and expertise to researchers carrying on film production, particularly ethnographic and documentary film.

Laboratory of environmental Anthropology and behavioural Ecology

The Environmental anthropology and behavioural Ecology Laboratory (LAE) was founded in 2015 as a response to the need of storing, identifying and analysing the materials collected by researchers of the research group Environment, Sustainability and Ethnography.

Laboratory of Biological Anthropology and Osteological Human Remains

LABOH (Laboratory of Biological Anthropology and Osteological Human Remains) began as an incubator of undergraduate internships in the field of Biological Anthropology at the Anthropology Department of NOVA FCSH. It served as an introductory platform to methods and techniques used in the analysis of human osteology, and its subsequent application in the reconstruction of past disease and behavioural patterns, as well as in Forensic Anthropology.
