Introduction Amalgamation of artistry with forensic science, osteology, anatomy and anthropology to recreate the face of an individual from its skeletal remains is known as Forensic Facial reconstruction. It is also known as forensic facial approximation. It recreates the individual’s face from features of skull. It is used by anthropologists, forensic investigators and archaeologists to help in portraying historical faces, identification of victims of crime or illustrate the features if fossil human ancestors. Two and three dimensional approaches are available for facial reconstruction. In forensic science, it is one of the most controversial and subjective technique. This method is successfully used inspite of this controversy. There are two types of methods of reconstruction which are used i.e.

  • Forensic Anthropology

    Forensic Anthropology

    ADJ14 Advanced Criminal Investigations Forensic Anthropology Forensic Anthropology In any field operation involving human remains, four main tasks may need to be performed: 1. Location a. Finding remains (individual, multiple, visible or buried, informant or search) 2. Mapping a. Placement of remains and associated materials must be mapped in relation to a permanent structure, set as a datum point, and location on a larger map must be pinpointed 3. Excavation a. If remains are interred, must use principles of archaeology to remove. 4. Collection a. Remains must be collected using accepted procedures and must be properly packaged for analysis. Chain of custody is vital. PRELIMINARY ISSUES “A major problem surrounding the recovery of remains is the noninvolvement of forensic anthropologists” (Byers, 2011, p. 75). Investigators often forget to collect/search for all bones – including hand or foot bones. Komar & Potter (2007) demonstrate that the rate of victim identification and determination of cause and manner of death are directly related to the proportion of the body collected on scene. Ensure a proper perimeter is set up as soon as possible. Secure the scene. Watch where you step – bones can be brittle if left in the elements. Watch time – if you are doing an excavation, you are dealing with a death. You can take your time on scene, and these scenes tend to be lengthy – there is no need to rush medical attention. LOCATING REMAINS 1. Determine the location 2. Develop a search plan that is tailored to the unique circumstances of the search area; be aware of what resources you have and what you will need.

    A Look at the History of Forensic Anthropology: Tracing My Academic Genealogy

    ISSN 2150-3311 JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY ANTHROPOLOGY RESEARCH ARTICLE VOLUME I 2010 ISSUE 1 A Look at the History of Forensic Anthropology: Tracing My Academic Genealogy Stephanie DuPont Golda Ph.D. Candidate Department of Anthropology University of Missouri Columbia, Missouri Copyright © Stephanie DuPont Golda A Look at the History of Forensic Anthropology: Tracing My Academic Genealogy Stephanie DuPont Golda Ph.D. Candidate Department of Anthropology University of Missouri Columbia, Missouri ABSTRACT Construction of an academic genealogy is an important component of professional socialization as well as an opportunity to review the history of subdisciplines within larger disciplines to discover transitions in the pedagogical focus of broad fields in academia. This academic genealogy surveys the development of forensic anthropology rooted in physical anthropology, as early as 1918, until the present, when forensic anthropology was recognized as a legitimate subfield in anthropology. A historical review of contributions made by members of this genealogy demonstrates how forensic anthropology progressed from a period of classification and description to complete professionalization as a highly specialized and applied area of anthropology. Additionally, the tracing of two academic genealogies, the first as a result of a master’s degree and the second as a result of a doctoral degree, allows for representation of the two possible intellectual lineages in forensic anthropology. Golda: A Look at the History of Forensic Anthropology 35 INTRODUCTION What better way to learn the history of anthropology as a graduate student than to trace your own academic genealogy? Besides, without explicit construction of my own unique, individual, ego-centered genealogy, according to Darnell (2001), it would be impossible for me to read the history of anthropology as part of my professional socialization.

    Experimental Investigations of Blunt Force Trauma in the Human Skeleton

    EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS OF BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA IN THE HUMAN SKELETON By Mariyam I. Isa A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Anthropology—Doctor of Philosophy 2020 ABSTRACT EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS OF BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA IN THE HUMAN SKELETON By Mariyam I. Isa In forensic anthropology, skeletal trauma is a growing area of analysis that can contribute important evidence about the circumstances of an individual’s death. In bioarchaeology, patterns of skeletal trauma are situated within a cultural context to explore human behaviors across time and space. Trauma analysis involves transforming observations of fracture patterns in the human skeleton into inferences about the circumstances involved in their production. This analysis is based on the foundational assumption that fracture behavior is the nonrandom result of interactions between extrinsic factors influencing the stresses placed on bone and intrinsic factors affecting bone’s ability to withstand these stresses. Biomechanical principles provide the theoretical foundation for generating hypotheses about how various extrinsic and intrinsic factors affect the formation of fracture patterns, and about how these factors can be read from fracture patterns. However, research is necessary to test and refine these hypotheses and, on a more basic level, to document the relationships between “input” variables of interest and fracture “outputs.” One research approach involves the use of forensic and/or clinical case samples. Case- based approaches are important because they provide data from real scenarios and contexts that may be similar to those encountered in unknown cases. However, a limitation is that input variables are not directly measured or controlled and therefore cannot be precisely known.

We briefly describe the history of facial reconstruction in the deceased, starting from the skull. Fa- cial reconstruction has passed through many phases and has been variously motivated, from religion and an- cestor worship, through anthropology, to the identification of lost persons for forensic purposes. Renaissance artists used this technique for modelling and teaching. Techniques changed over the centuries but the ulti- mate goal was to create a convincing likeness of the dead. The two current activities are forensic facial re- construction and reconstructing the personal appearance of ancient people.

V Waghmare, R Gaikwad, N Herekar Citation V Waghmare, R Gaikwad, N Herekar. Estimation Of The Stature From The Anthropometric Measurement Of Hand Length.. The Internet Journal of Biological Anthropology. 2010 Volume 4 Number 2. Abstract Stature or body height is one most important and useful anthropometric parameter that determine the physical identity of an individual. The stature prediction occupies relatively a central position in the anthropometric research. Estimation of stature of and individual from the amputated limbs has obvious significance in the personal identification in the events of murders, accidents or natural disasters. The present study was under taken to measure the stature as well as the hand length to determine whether there is any correlation between the stature and the hand length. The objectives of the study were to measure the hand lengths, to estimate the stature from the hand lengths, and to correlate between the stature and the hand lengths to find out the any multiplication factor for it. The study was carried on two hundred male adult individuals. Measurement of stature and length of right and left side was taken with a standard anthropometer and a sliding caliper respectively. The mean stature and mean length of the right and left were159.01 (S.D. 6.78) cm, 16.92 (S.D. 0.91) cm and 16.46 (S.D. 0.93) cm. respectively. The present study showed significant (p<0.001) positive correlation between the stature and hand lengths.
