ANTH 2235: Intro to Forensic Anthropology: Find Books

Provides comprehensive coverage of everything that students and practitioners need to know about working in the field of forensic anthropology.

A guide to the interface between forensic anthropology and the United States legal system.

Integrates data from researchers in bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology to explain when and why group-targeted violence occurs.

Bioarchaeology can provide a more nuanced lens through which to examine the effects of warfare on life, morbidity, and mortality, bringing individuals not traditionally considered by studies of warfare and prolonged violence into focus.  Inclusion of these groups in discussions of warfare can increase our understanding of not only the biological but also the social meaning and costs of warfare.

Drawing on case studies, the author shows how skeletal remains can often tell us, in chilling detail, exactly what a warrior suffered in their final moments.
