Riassunto

Forensic Anthropology serves as a graduate level text for those studying and teaching forensic anthropology, as well as an excellent reference for forensic anthropologist libraries or for use in casework. Covers taphonomy, recovery and analysis, identification, statistical interpretation, and professional issues. Edited by a world-renowned leading forensic expert, the Advanced Forensic Science Series grew out of the recommendations from the 2009 NAS Report, Strengthening Forensic Science: A Path Forward, and is a long overdue solution for the forensic science community.

• Provides the basic principles of forensic science and an overview of forensic anthropology
• Contains sections on taphonomy, recovery, analysis, pathology, and identification
• Covers statistical interpretation of evidence using the classical-frequentist approach and Bayesian analysis, measurement uncertainty, and standard methods
• Includes a section on professional issues, such as: from crime scene to court, expert witness testimony, and health and safety
• Incorporates effective pedagogy, key terms, review questions, discussion questions, and additional reading suggestions
