Introduction to Forensic Anthropology provides comprehensive coverage of key methods
and issues in forensic anthropology. Using terminology and best practices recommended by …

Computed tomography (CT) has influenced numerous fields since its inception in the 1970s.
The field of palaeoanthropology significantly benefited from this efficient and non-invasive …

Body mass is a critical variable in many hominin evolutionary studies, with implications for
reconstructing relative brain size, diet, locomotion, subsistence strategy, and social …

Previous attempts to estimate body mass in pre-Holocene hominins have relied on
prediction equations derived from relatively limited extant samples. Here we derive new …

Objectives Estimating body mass from skeletal dimensions is widely practiced, but methods
for estimating its components (lean and fat mass) are poorly developed. The ability to …

Body size is a fundamental biological property of organisms, and documenting body size
variation in hominin evolution is an important goal of palaeoanthropology. Estimating body …

Computed tomography (CT) is a nondestructive technique, based on absorbing X-rays, that
permits the visualisation of the internal microstructure of material. The field of application is …

Accurate age estimations are essential for identifying human skeletal remains and
narrowing missing persons searches. This study examines how BMI, body mass, and stature …

Background Identifying individual characteristics based on trace evidence left at a crime
scene is crucial in forensic identification. Microbial communities found in fecal traces have …

Sex estimation and the analysis of sexual dimorphism is an essential part of forensic and
archaeological studies of skeletons. However, osteologists often have to rely on single …
