Nick Cooper: Finding Richard III - the Ultimate (but not the last) Collaboration

Nick Cooper, University of Leicester Archaeology Service (ULAS):
Finding Richard III: the Ultimate (but not the last) Collaboration

Whilst the search for Richard III was not a developer-funded project, and therefore not typical of the kind of work ULAS does on a day to day basis, it does illustrate the potential for collaboration within and across academic institutions and the big advantage of having a commercial unit embedded in a university. Of course, with a high profile project, everyone wants a piece of the action and quite apart from collaboration with three genetics departments that clinched the identification, partnership with History, Forensic Pathology and Engineering at Leicester together with dating labs, the Royal Armouries and facial reconstruction at Dundee was crucial to telling the story. The project has generated many potential spin-off projects including educational and community outreach opportunities and you’ll be buying the book before you leave today!
