Forensic anthropology, while still relatively in its infancy compared to other forensic science disciplines, adopts a wide array of methods from many disciplines for human skeletal identification in medico-legal and humanitarian contexts. The human skeleton is a dynamic tissue that can withstand the ravages of time given the right environment and may be the only remaining evidence left in a forensic case whether a week or decades old. Improved understanding of the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that modulate skeletal tissues allows researchers and practitioners to improve the accuracy and precision of identification methods ranging from establishing a biological profile such as estimating age-at-death, and population affinity, estimating time-since-death, using isotopes for geolocation of unidentified decedents, radiology for personal identification, histology to assess a live birth, to assessing traumatic injuries and so much more.

Quatrième de couverture : "Les caractéristiques de l'organe dentaire, de sa résistance, de sa persistance ou des traitements qu'il subit sont étudiées avec précision. Ceci explique pourquoi la dent est un organe précieux pour les experts en identification. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage exceptionnel s'attachent à présenter l'odontologie médico-légale avec la plus grande exhaustivité possible. Outre le côté purement technique de leur spécialité (anthropologie, génétique, empreintes labiales, reconstitution faciale...), ils abordent tous les aspects de l'identification des personnes (droit de l'identité, questions éthiques et religieuses...). Une part importante de l'ouvrage est consacrée à la gestion des catastrophes, rédigée par des équipes pluridisciplinaires au sein desquelles les chirurgiens-dentistes sont largement associés. Les éditeurs sont persuadés que cet ouvrage intéresse à la fois les chirurgiens-dentistes experts et non experts, les médecins légistes, les magistrats, les avocats, les anthropologues, et bien évidemment les personnels de gendarmerie et de police en charge des enquêtes lors des crimes, suicides et catastrophes où l'identification des personnes est un élément capital au bon déroulement des opérations."

"Over the last 10 years, interest in the disciplines of forensic anthropology and archaeology has exploded. In order to provide archaeologists and their students with a reliable understanding of these disciplines, this authoritative volume draws contributions from fifty experienced practitioners from around the world to offer a solid foundation in both the practical and ethical components of forensic work. Over 40 chapters weave together historical development, current field methods in analyzing crime, natural disasters and human atrocities, an array of laboratory techniques, key case studies, legal, professional, and ethical issues, and promising future directions, all from a global perspective. This volume will be the benchmark for the understanding of anthropological and archaeological forensics for years to come. This Handbook is sponsored by World Archaeological Congress"-- "With contributions from 70 experienced practitioners from around the world, this second edition of the authoritative Handbook of Forensic Archaeology and Anthropology provides a solid foundation in both the practical and ethical components of forensic work. The book weaves together the discipline's historical development; current field methods for analyzing crime, natural disasters, and human atrocities; an array of laboratory techniques; key case studies involving legal, professional, and ethical issues; and ideas about the future of forensic work--all from a global perspective. This fully revised second edition -provides an updated perspective of the disciplines of forensic archaeology and anthropology; -expands the geographic representation of the first edition by including chapters from practitioners in South Africa and Colombia; -adds exciting new chapters on the International Commission on Missing Persons and on forensic work being done to identify victims of the Battle of Fromelles during World War I"--
