This short communication aims to provide the scientific community information on the new acquisitions of human identified skeletons for the CEAF Identified Skeletal Collection of the University of Pernambuco, Brazil. It comprises 188 skeletons from both sexes, with ages ranging from 0 to 106 years-old. The addition of the new skeletons makes this the largest contemporary identified human osteological collection of Brazil with 427 individuals, and it will allow the development of research in diverse academic levels within the university from undergraduate to postdoctoral research, aiming to enhance the Forensic Anthropology field in Brazil.
