This volume spans the issues of forensic anthropology hitherto not brought together in one volume, and in some instances, not available in other formats. Comprehensive in scope, it covers forensic anthropology in death investigation from the scene, through the laboratory, and into the agency and social environment. With its easily-accessible information and numerous case samples, the book increases awareness and knowledge of forensic anthropology in a manner accessible to anthropologists and archeologists, as well as those in the law enforcement and medicolegal communities.
