An essential foundation for the practice of forensic
anthropology
This text is the first of its level written in more than twenty
years. It serves as a summary and guide to the core material that
needs to be mastered and evaluated for the practice of forensic
anthropology.
The text is divided into three parts that collectively provide a
solid base in theory and methodology:
* Part One, "Background Setting for Forensic Anthropology,"
introduces the field and discusses the role of forensic
anthropology in historic context.
* Part Two, "Towards Personal Identification," discusses initial
assessments of skeletal remains; determining sex, age, ancestral
background, and stature; and skeletal markers of activity and life
history.
* Part Three, "Principal Anthropological Roles in Medical-Legal
Investigation," examines trauma; the postmortem period;
professionalism, ethics, and the expert witness; and genetics and
DNA.
The critical and evaluative approach to the primary literature
stresses the inherent biological constraints on degrees of
precision and certainty, and cautions about potential pitfalls. The
practical focus, coupled with theoretical basics, make Fundamentals
of Forensic Anthropology ideal for upper-level undergraduates and
graduate students in biological anthropology as well as forensic
scientists in allied fields of medical-legal investigation.
