Synopsis:

Designed to complement the third edition of Forensic Anthropology, this dynamic lab manual introduces students to forensic anthropology practice using current, validated, and accepted methods. Whereas the accompanying textbook provides in-depth topic coverage and literature review, Lab Manual for Forensic Anthropology emphasizes procedural information and concepts and offers students hands-on practice to facilitate deeper learning and understanding. The lab manual features 15 modules, which correspond to the 15 chapters in the related textbook. Each module begins with objectives and then provides students with a series of exercises meant to help them apply newly acquired knowledge from each topical area. All exercises are case-based and include a scenario to help students better understand the context of the case. Assessments allow students to reflect upon and test their knowledge, and a series of appendices equip readers with essential tools and information. The second edition of this lab manual better aligns with the content found within the textbook Forensic Anthropology. It is a comprehensive, practical, and relevant tool for students and aspiring practitioners in the discipline.
