Excavation, recovery and post-excavation processing of these remains is governed by guidance set by the Austrian Federal Monuments Authority according the Austrian Federal Monuments law.

“In Austria, about 95% of all archaeological excavations each year take place within the context of preventive archaeology and are usually carried out by commercial archaeological providers. Naturally, these projects also bring about a large number of skeletal human remains.
