This course provides an introduction to forensic anthropology, a field of study that involves applying methods and theories about skeletal and other human remains to answering medical, legal and human rights questions. Forensic anthropologists often work closely with medical examiners, police officers, lawyers, human rights experts, native groups, and other specialists to identify human remains and assess the context of those deaths. Students will examine the techniques for the analysis of human remains and the ethical issues surrounding the treatment of human remains and the utilization of evidence gathered.
