Anthropology __ 2018
Anthropology __ 2018 A1 Investigating the Accuracy of Additive Manufacturing Skeletal Samples for Evidence Reconstruction Rachael M. Carew, MSc*, Viale Muratori 185, Modena, MO 41124, ITALY; Ruth M. Morgan, PhD, University College London, UCL Centre for the Forensic Sciences, 35 Tavistock Square, London WC1H 9EZ, UNITED KINGDOM; and Carolyn Rando, PhD, University College London, Institute of Archaeology, 31-34 Gordon Square, London WC1H 0PY, UNITED KINGDOM After attending this presentation, attendees will be aware of the problems inherent within 3D modeling and additive manufacturing (3D printing) in forensic anthropology and will recognize that these issues are pertinent to forensic science reconstruction approaches and, in particular, the presentation of 3D prints as evidence in court. This presentation will impact the forensic science community by alerting attendees to the uses and limitations of additive manufacturing from Computed Tomography (CT) scans in a forensic context. Recommendations and thought-provoking findings could initiate discussions and collaborations toward further exploration into the use of models for reconstruction purposes in anthropology and wider forensic disciplines. This research investigates the metrology of 3D modeling and 3D printing osteological samples from CT scans. It is expected that such models will be sufficiently accurate for anthropological comparisons, but the extent of the effect of modeling parameters is currently unknown. There are two documented cases in which 3D prints of human remains have been used in United Kingdom courts of law.1,2 In one of these cases, lawyers cast doubt on the reliability of a 3D-printed cranium, as the process has not been validated in a forensic context.2 This type of evidence can be utilized after a virtual postmortem (avoiding disruption of remains), from antemortem clinical CT data, or in cases in which the subject survives. -

21 Obituary: Daris R. Swindler (1925-2007) Daris R. Swindler, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at the University of Washington, Seattle, passed away on December 6, 2007, after a brief acute illness in Spokane. He was 82 years old. Much of his scientific work was related to dental anthropology and craniofacial growth and development. A long- time member of the Dental Anthropology Association, Swindler served as its president from 1990 to 1992. From 1996 to 2001 he belonged to the Editorial Board of Dental Anthropology. With his death dental anthropology has lost one of its finest scholars and supporters. The 14th International Symposium on Dental Morphology in Greifswald, Germany in August 2008 will commemorate his life and will honor his most valuable contribution to Dental Anthropology. Daris R. Swindler was born in Morgantown, West Virginia in 1925. Since his junior years in highschool, Swindler had been interested in the evolution and the diversity of recent humankind. This interest was greatly fostered by the reading of “On the Trail of Ancient Man” by Roy Chapman Andrews. Interrupted by his volunteer service for the US Navy during the Second Fig. 1. Daris R.
