Skeleton Keys: How Forensic Anthropology Helps Solve Crimes   

This class will cover the science of forensic anthropology (the forensic study of human skeletal remains), including the investigation of crime scenes, forensic casework, and the development of forensic standards. Each session will cover a different aspect of forensic anthropology and time will be allotted for questions. We will first outline the practice of forensic anthropology, followed by the application of forensic anthropology to crime scenes and to human identification. Then we will focus on the development of forensic standards and why they are important for criminal trials.
