New perspectives in forensic human skeletal identification

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.

The final section highlights advances in human identification techniques that are being applied to international populations and disaster victims.
