New Perspectives in Forensic Human Skeletal Identification

New Perspectives in Forensic Human Skeletal Identification provides a comprehensive and up-to-date perspective on human identification methods in forensic anthropology. Divided into four distinct sections, the chapters reflect recent advances in human skeletal identification, including statistical and morphometric methods for assessing the biological profile (sex, age, ancestry, stature), biochemical methods of identification (DNA analysis, stable isotope analysis, bomb curve analysis) and use of comparative radiography. A final section highlights advances in human identification techniques that are being applied to international populations and disaster victims. The book's contributing authors represent established experts in forensic anthropology and closely related fields, making this an essential resource for researchers, practitioners and advanced students interested in state-of-the-art methods for human identification.
