Anthropology

Forensic anthropology is the field of study concerned with the analysis of human skeletal remains for medico-legal purposes. The forensic anthropologist analyses differentially preserved human remains to assist with addressing questions of ancestry, sex, age and stature. In addition, the forensic anthropologist examines the remains for evidence of skeletal alterations and comments, where possible, on whether such alterations occurred, ante-, peri- or post-mortem. Forensic anthropology services are provided by the Centre for Human Identification (CHI).
