This text guides the reader through all aspects of human remains recovery and forensic anthropological analysis. It presents principles at a level that is appropriate for those new to the field, while at the same time incorporating evolutionary, biomechanical, and other theoretical foundations for the features and phenomena encountered in forensic anthropological casework.

Recenzii

"Overall, I think that the text is excellent, very complete. I am encouraged to see that it contextualizes what forensic anthropologists do, with concentration on standards, ethics, and other themes that some might consider to be peripheral, but which are, I think, critical subjects for budding young anthropologists (and all scientists). In this, the text is a big improvement over other, similar texts on the market. I believe that the authors very accurately express the potential and limitations of the discipline."--Derek Congram
"Forensic Anthropology (2nd edition) ... is comprehensive, providing its reader with a solid foundation in all areas of forensic anthropology, including its history, application, and methods. It covers forensic archaeology, processing, laboratory procedures and analyses, and legal implications. I can’t think of a single subject matter I’d plan on teaching in an Intro to Forensic Anthropology course that was not covered in the text. This is a textbook written by experts in the field and it shows."--Heather Garvin
"Overall, book is well written with excellent examples and I am looking forward to using it in my Forensic Anthropology classes! The book includes the most up to date research and is useful for both practitioners and students in the discipline."--Alexandra Klales
