Description
Summary:"Written by three experienced forensic anthropologists working in different laboratory settings, the volume places the practice of forensic anthropology within the context of contemporary forensic science and the scientific principles of modern physical anthropology and biology. Explanations of the science involved are accompanied by case examples, profiles of some current practitioners, and information on the training required. The volume offers not only a detailed presentation of the many techniques involved in the practice of forensic anthropology, but also a sense of the underlying science. Such perspective offers readers a vital understanding of this rapidly changing field, as well as a comprehensive view of its content."--Provided by publisher
