| Unit Description |
This is a combined reading and practical unit which will explore issues in forensic anthropology in an Australian context. Students are sent a variety of forensic materials, including casts of bones, photographs, radiographs and descriptive data, and from these they are expected to establish the identity and life history of the deceased. Students will be expected to apply a variety of established and experimental procedures for sex identification, stature and age estimation, racial identification, facial reconstruction and body weight estimation as well as identifying evidence of trauma and disease. Students who have any difficulty in working with human skeletal materials should not enrol in this unit. |
