About this book

Introduction to Forensic Anthropology provides comprehensive coverage of key methods and issues in forensic anthropology. Using terminology and best practices recommended by the Scientific Working Group for Forensic Anthropology (SWGANTH) and the Anthropology Consensus Body of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI/ACB), it introduces students to all the major topics in the field, with material ranging from the attribution of ancestry and sex, to various forms of bone trauma, to identification through radiography.

This fully updated, sixth edition incorporates new and improved methods, new data and worked examples from North America and across the globe. It also includes a new discussion on probabilities and centiles, increased emphasis on quantification of error rates of both old and new methods, an updated ancestry chapter, and updated URLs with free software to calculate various characteristics.

This is a self-contained textbook that is ideal for a lower-division college-level class for non-majors and majors alike.

This accessible and engaging text offers an array of features to support teaching and learning, including:

boxed case studies
extensive figures and photographs
chapter summaries and student exercises
a glossary of terms
additional reading lists
critical resources
hands-on application for students when used with accompanying lab manual
