Forensic anthropologists apply standard
scientific techniques developed in physical
anthropology to identify human remains,
and to assist in the detection of crime.
Forensic anthropologists frequently work
in conjunction with forensic pathologists,
odontologists, and homicide investigators
to identify a decedent, discover evidence
of foul play, and/or the postmortem

locating and recovering suspicious
remains, forensic anthropologists work to
suggest the age, sex, ancestry, stature,
and unique features of a decedent from
the skeleton.
