Abstract

"En 2018 el Equipo Argentino de Antropología Forense fue distinguido por el Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales y la Universidad Nacional de Quilmes con el Premio Latinoamericano Juan Gelman por su compromiso con las ciencias sociales y la defensa de los derechos humanos. Ciencia por la verdad es parte de ese reconocimiento y conmemora los 35 años de trabajo en la búsqueda y restitución de la identidad de miles de personas desaparecidas tanto en Argentina, como en América Latina y en el resto del mundo. El libro recopila 35 historias que, como un tejido, se unen unam otras para dar cuenta de una experiencia colectiva guiada por la comunicación con los familiares, el rigor científico y el intachable trabajo de más de una generación."_Cubierta.

Abstract

The goals of this guide to the identification and interpretation of joint disease are: (1) to identify the diagnostic criteria that are relevant to investigations of joint disease in dry and macerated bone specimens; (2) to differentiate between various disease forms; and (3) to highlight contentious issues, such as the antiquity of rheumatoid arthritis and the implications of the prevalence and severity of joint disease for reconstructing the behaviors of past peoples. The text advocates the use of unambiguous terminology and hence discusses descriptive terms and illustrates how the use of co

Abstract

The mass graves from our long human history of genocide, massacres, and violent conflict form an underground map of atrocity that stretches across the planet's surface. In the past few decades, due to rapidly developing technologies and a powerful global human rights movement, the scientific study of those graves has become a standard facet of post-conflict international assistance. Digging for the Disappeared provides readers with a window into this growing but little-understood form of human rights work, including the dangers and sometimes unexpected complications that arise as evidence is gathered and the dead are named. Adam Rosenblatt examines the ethical, political, and historical foundations of the rapidly growing field of forensic investigation, from the graves of the "disappeared" in Latin America to genocides in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia to post–Saddam Hussein Iraq. In the process, he illustrates how forensic teams strive to balance the needs of war crimes tribunals, transitional governments, and the families of the missing in post-conflict nations. Digging for the Disappeared draws on interviews with key players in the field to present a new way to analyze and value the work forensic experts do at mass graves, shifting the discussion from an exclusive focus on the rights of the living to a rigorous analysis of the care of the dead. Rosenblatt tackles these heady, hard topics in order to extend human rights scholarship into the realm of the dead and the limited but powerful forms of repair available for victims of atrocity.

Abstract

Forensic facial reconstruction is the reproduction of an individual's face from skeletal remains. Used when other forms of identification are very difficult or impossible, it can give a name to the dead in forensic cases, or in archaeological contexts, provide a tangible impression of real individuals from our past. This comprehensive work starts with a discussion of the importance of the face in society and the history of facial reconstruction, going on to evaluate the accuracy of modern reconstruction methods. The Manchester method of facial reconstruction, and the relationships between the hard and soft tissues of the face are described in detail. Uniquely, it also describes the methods and problems associated with reconstructing the faces of children. Collating all published facial tissue data and describing tissue variations with reference to age, sex, stature and ethnic origin, this book will be an important reference volume for all practitioners in the field.

Abstract

The aim of this book is to dissect forensic anthropology and forensic pathology in its various and valuable contributions to contemporary society. It gives answers and approaches key questions to this sciences' growing audience within different countries in the recent years. It aims to provide a practical approach to the investigation of bodies that are not fresh enough to be considered a normal forensic case. The specialists of both areas can have in a single book the useful tools and practical recommendations of these specialities (forensic anthropology and forensic pathology) that are spread among other textbooks. It proposes original, illustrated, and updated articles on the four parameters of the biological profile; it discusses the factors of individualization; it explains the decay process of a body and the relevance of each step for forensic sciences, providing a useful approach to investigate such corpses; it reviews bone trauma; it facilitates the access to a number of international organizations and protocols related with the subject; and it compares the perspectives of expertises from different countries, namely Europe, North America, and Latin America. The majority of the authors found in this volume have quite a lot of experience with the subjects that they discuss. Finally, this book provides a bridge between forensic anthropology and forensic pathology, and brings practical advice from physical anthropology. Forensic Anthropology and Medicine: Complementary Sciences From Recovery to Cause of Death presents both forensic anthropology and forensic pathology in their various and valuable contributions to contemporary society. Providing original, illustrated, and updated articles on the four parameters of the biological profile, this text encompasses the factors of individualization; the decay process of a body and the relevance of each step for forensic sciences; bone trauma; access to a number of international organizations; and protocols related with the subject, all with perspectives of expertise from different countries, namely Europe, North America, and Latin America.

Abstract

Bones, Les Experts,. beaucoup de séries TV se sont construites sur la résolution d'affaires criminelles. Si vous voulez connaître le dessous des cartes de ces enquêtes criminelles à suspense, alors ce livre est fait pour vous. Et dans l'éventualité où vous avez définitivement évincé le petit écran de votre vie "idienne, il est peu probable que vous échappiez à l'intérêt croissant de toute notre société pour les analyses scientifiques mises en œuvre dans les enquêtes policières. Ces questions, parfois macabres, toujours complexes, nous concernent aussi parce qu'elles traitent de la mort et de notre peur devant ses ravages : comment identifier une victime grâce aux prélèvements ADN, à l'étude dentaire ? Que peuvent-nous apprendre les ongles, les os ? Comment différencier le squelette d'un homme, d'une femme et quel âge lui donner ? Comment la victime est-elle décédée ? L'anthropologie judiciaire est là pour tenter d'apporter les réponses ; véritable auxiliaire de justice destiné à prouver, identifier ou corroborer, cette science met en œuvre nombre de spécialités comme l'étude des ossements, de la morphologie faciale…ou des insectes nécrophages. L'auteur Guy Gauthier, professeur d'anthropologie au collège Marie- Victorin de Montréal au Québec, nous décrit les investigations menées dans les enquêtes de nombreux cas historiques et les conclusions qui en ont permis le dénouement : vous saurez ainsi comment Klaus Barbie a été identifié, si Napoléon Bonaparte a été empoisonné, ou ce que mangeait l'Homme des glaces.

Abstract

"Forensic anthropologists are confronted with ethical issues as part of their education, research, teaching, professional development, and casework. Despite the many ethical challenges that may impact forensic anthropologists, discourse and training in ethics are limited. The goal for Ethics and Professionalism in Forensic Anthropology is to outline the current state of ethics within the field and to start a discussion about the ethics, professionalism, and legal concerns associated with the practice of forensic anthropology."--Back cover.

Abstract

The editors, along with 15 outstanding contributors, comprehensively explore and provide an overview of the principles behind the interpretation of skeletal blunt force trauma. This expanded second edition provides a discussion on how to train for a career in forensic anthropology and offers guidance on how to complete a thorough trauma analysis. It also provides the labels given to different kinds of fractures and the biomechanical forces required to cause bone to fail and fracture. The text provides a theoretical framework for both evaluating published trauma studies and designing new ones.
