Responsibilities
Assist in investigation of crimes

Identify human remains
…when conventional methods cannot be used

FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOG
YRemains human?Single individual or several?When did death occur?Was the body disturbed post-mortem?Gender, race, age?Cause of death?Type of death?Signs of disease, old injuries?Height, weight, physique estimated?
![Page 12: Chapter 14 Human Remains](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56816460550346895dd63cda/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Functions of the Skeleton:Internal structure and support
Protection of vital organs
Attachment for muscles
Make blood cells
Storage of minerals
![Page 13: Chapter 14 Human Remains](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56816460550346895dd63cda/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Types of bones:
Long
Short
Flat
Irregular
![Page 14: Chapter 14 Human Remains](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56816460550346895dd63cda/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
***Most accurate if body is found within 24 hours of death
A. Algor mortis; cooling of the body after death
Body cools at approx. 1-1.5 degrees per hour until environmental temp is reached.
Researcher must consider factors such as…
Environmental temp.Type of clothingIs clothing wet? (aids cooling)Air movement (aids cooling)Layers of clothing (prevents
cooling)Surface area/body mass ratio(small bodies will cool more
quickly)
Glaister formula gives hours elapsed:

1. Determining time of death
![Page 15: Chapter 14 Human Remains](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56816460550346895dd63cda/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
B. Livor mortis; purple or red discoloration of the skin after death, caused by pooling of the blood due to gravity.
Begins .5 hr after death, most evident within 12 hr. After 12 hr discoloration will not move regardless of how the body is handled or moved.
Areas in contact with ground (or anything) show no discoloration because capillaries are compressed.
C. Rigor mortis; stiffness in skeletal muscles 2-3 hrs after death, lasting until ~30 hrs.
Smaller muscles first. Affected by temp, dehydration, condition of muscles, use prior to death, etc.

Osteology; the study of bonesOsteons;
2. Animal vs Human Bone
![Page 17: Chapter 14 Human Remains](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56816460550346895dd63cda/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
![Page 18: Chapter 14 Human Remains](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56816460550346895dd63cda/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
![Page 19: Chapter 14 Human Remains](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56816460550346895dd63cda/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
In animals, these osteons would occur in rows (osteon banding) or rectagular shapes (plexiform bone).

HUMAN ANIMAL
![Page 21: Chapter 14 Human Remains](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56816460550346895dd63cda/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
3. Estimating Height…using long bones.
humerus
radius
femur
tibia
![Page 22: Chapter 14 Human Remains](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56816460550346895dd63cda/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Since men and women have different proportions of long bone length to total body height, we have a different formula for each sex…
Height (cm)= femur x 2.21 + 61.41 femur x 2.23 +69.08
tibia x 2.53 + 72.57 tibia x 2.39 + 81.68
humerus x 3.14 + 64.97 humerus x 2.97 + 73.57
radius x 3.87 + 73.50 radius x 3.65 + 80.40

4. Sex Determination
Using the pelvis
![Page 24: Chapter 14 Human Remains](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56816460550346895dd63cda/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

![Page 26: Chapter 14 Human Remains](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56816460550346895dd63cda/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
These three bones fuse together to make the os coxa,or half of the pelvis.

Statistical methods are used
To differentiate remains from those of the native population
![Page 48: Chapter 14 Human Remains](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56816460550346895dd63cda/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
The remains are taken to CILHI
Where a biological profile is created
and compared to a database
