ANT 495r: Forensic Anthropology
Librarian: Jack McGeachy
Forensic anthropology is the application of the science of
physical/biological anthropology to the legal process. The identification of
skeletal and other decomposed human remains is important for both legal and
humanitarian reasons. Forensic anthropologists work to determine the age, sex,
ancestry, stature, and unique features of a decedent from the skeleton.
