Preferred term

forensic anthropology  

Definition(s)

  • As an area of applied physical anthropology, forensic anthropology has come into its own in the last twenty years. It focuses on the human skeleton and is indispensable to the investigation of a death when there are only bone fragments and trace materials available as evidence to help answer those questions that surround a person's death. [Source: Encyclopedia of Crime and Punishment; Anthropology, Forensic]
