ANTH 354 - Forensic Osteology

Institution:

William Paterson University of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

This course is designed to present the application of physical anthropology to forensic science. Forensic anthropologists mostly deal with skeletal and dental evidence, therefore a significant amount of the course deals with the normal growth and development of these tissues, along with how they are modified in life and postmortem. The material covered should be of interest not only to students enrolled in anthropology (including archeology) but also in biology, criminal justice, nursing, or any other field in which knowledge of skeletal biology may be required.
