Abstract | Forensic Anthropology is the application of the science of anatomy, physical anthropology, archaeology, and taphonomy to aid the law enforcement agencies in recovery, examination, and identification of skeletal remains. It involves determination of whether the material recovered at a scene of crime is osteological, determination of species of origin, minimum number of contributors of the skeletal remains, determination of ancestry of the individual, their sex, their age, their stature, and any individualistic features that can assist in positive identification of the remains |
