My textbook for Forensic Anthropology under the direction of Dr. David Glassman at Southwest Texas State University, 1986 (now Texas State).
This is one of a handful of books I'd take on assignment. If you're looking for a solid reference, you will do no better than Bill Bass's manual.
The hip bone's connected to the thigh bone...This manual is left over from a Forensic Anthropology class I dropped in college way back in 1998, so I'm pretty sure that the edition I have is outdated.

Great field manual, but somewhat out of date.
Be aware that a 5th edition is a available.
If this book held up better, it would get a higher rating. I went through three copies of Bass as an MA student since the wire binding is wonderful at not keeping the book held together. Tim D. White's Human Bone Manual has a far superior binding.

I never had a chance to use this field manual when I was involved in Archaeology. I am probably grateful for that, in hindsight.
Currently reading it for my Biological Anthropology class. So far so good.
