Forensic Anthropology [EPUB ebook] 
2000 to 2010

Advances in our ability to analyse information from skeletal remains and subsequent developments in the field of forensic anthropology make it possible to identify more victims of homicides, mass-fatality disasters, and genocide. Summarizing the vast collection of international literature that has developed over the past decade, this volume explores critical themes fundamental to this evolving discipline. Topics discussed include age determination in juveniles and adults; sex, race, and ancestry determination; stature determination; dental and facial identification; skeletal trauma and bone pathology; taphonomy and comparative osteology; and identification from soft tissues.
