Sinossi

Biological Distance Analysis: Forensic and Bioarchaeological Perspectives synthesizes research within the realm of biological distance analysis, highlighting current work within the field and discussing future directions. The book is divided into three main sections. The first section clearly outlines datasets and methods within biological distance analysis, beginning with a brief history of the field and how it has progressed to its current state. The second section focuses on approaches using the individual within a forensic context, including ancestry estimation and case studies.

The final section concentrates on population-based bioarchaeological approaches, providing key techniques and examples from archaeological samples. The volume also includes an appendix with additional resources available to those interested in biological distance analyses.

Informazioni sull?autore

Marin A. Pilloud, PhD, RPA, D-ABFA is currently an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Nevada, Reno. Dr. Pilloud s research is broadly focused on the application of dental morphology and metrics to answering research questions in both bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology. She has active bioarchaeological research programs in Neolithic Anatolia and prehistoric California, and within forensic anthropology she is interested in the use of teeth in the estimation of ancestry.

Joseph T. Hefner, PhD, RPA, D-ABFA received his Ph.D. from the University of Florida in 2007. He is currently an assistant professor of anthropology at Michigan State University. Dr. Hefner's research interests focus on morphological variation in cranial form within and between modern human populations. In particular, he works with morphoscopic traits, parametric and nonparametric classification statistics, and machine learning methods useful for the assessment of ancestry in forensic anthropology.
