The human skeletal remains of Southern Patagonia are scattered throughout numerous European and American institutions. Currently there are more than 1150 individuals in those institutions. Information about the remains and the peer-reviewed published bioanthropological information about each of them have been compiled in the Base de Información Bioantropológica de Patagonia Austral (Southern Patagonian Bioanthropological Information Base). This platform is conceived as a tool that seeks to facilitate and streamline the work of the community of bioanthropologists and other scientists. The database is public and open source, and it is available to both the scientific community and the wider public. It will be updated periodically, with the information that the community generates and makes available to its peers by means of the various formats that scientists employ to publish their scientific work.
