PDF-(EBOOK)-Bioarchaeological and Forensic Perspectives on Violence: How Violent Death Is

Every year there are over 16 million violent deaths worldwide making violence one of the leading public health issues of our time And with the 20th century just behind us its hard to forget that 191 million people lost their lives directly or indirectly through conflict This collection of engaging case studies on violence and violent deaths reveals how violence is reconstructed from skeletal and contextual information By sharing the complex methodologies for gleaning scientific data from human remains and the context they are found in and complementary perspectives for examining violence from both past and contemporary societies bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology prove to be fundamentally inseparable This book provides a model for training forensic anthropologists and bioarchaeologists not just in the fundamentals of excavation and skeletal analysis but in all subfields of anthropology to broaden their theoretical and practical approach to dealing with everyday violence.

New Perspectives in Forensic Human Skeletal Identification provides a comprehensive and up-to-date perspective on human identification methods in forensic anthropology. Divided into four distinct sections, the chapters will reflect recent advances in human skeletal identification, including statistical and morphometric methods for assessing the biological profile (sex, age, ancestry, stature), biochemical methods of identification (DNA analysis, stable isotope analysis, bomb curve analysis), and use of comparative radiography. The final section of this book highlights advances in human identification techniques that are being applied to international populations and disaster victims.The contributing authors represent established experts in forensic anthropology and closely related fields. New Perspectives in Forensic Human Skeletal Identification will be an essential resource for researchers, practitioners, and advanced students interested in state-of-the-art methods for human identification. Ancestry determination in the identification of unknown remains can be a challenge for forensic scientists and anthropologists, especially when the remains available for testing are limited. There are various techniques for the assessment of ancestry, ranging from traditional to new microbiological and computer-assisted methods. Biological Affinity in Forensic Identification of Human Skeletal Remains: Beyond Black and White presents a range of tools that can be used to identify the probable socio-cultural race category of unknown human remains.Gathering insight from those who have made recent improvements and scientific advances in the field, the book begins with the historical foundations of the concept of biological affinity and the need for increased research into methods for determining ancestry of skeletal remains. The contributors cover a range of topics, including:Ancestry estimation from the skull using morphoscopic and morphometric traits and variables Innovative methods from metric analyses of the postcrania, and new approaches to dental non-metric variation The biological diversity of Hispanic populations and use of discriminant function analysis and 3D-ID software to determine ancestry Methods of age progression and facial reconstructions to create two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) facial composites for missing people The preparation of skeletal remains for DNA extraction and sampling, and mtDNA methods that are available for identification of haplogroups (e.g., ancestral populations)No single method or technique is adequate in the assessment of ancestry. For accurate determinations, the use of traditional and new techniques combined yields better results. This book demonstrates the large repertoire of tools available to those tasked with these challenging determinations. This book is the first to be entirely devoted to the study of children\'s skeletons from archaeological and forensic contexts. It provides an extensive review of the osteological methods and theoretical concepts of their analysis. Non-adult skeletons provide a wealth of information on the physical and social life of the child from their growth, diet and age at death, to factors that expose them to trauma and disease at different stages of their lives. This book covers the factors that affect non-adult skeletal preservation the assessment of their age, sex and ancestry growth and development infant and child mortality including infanticide weaning ages and disease of dietary deficiency skeletal pathology personal identification and exposure to trauma from birth injuries, accidents and child abuse providing new insights for graduates and postgraduates in osteology, palaeopathology and forensic anthropology.
