2019 SpringSBS 333 Section 01, 4 units

This course combines cold case studies from archaeology, forensics, and biological anthropology in the analysis of the signs for blunt force trauma, strangulation, projectile wounds, dismemberment, disease, conflict-related violence, cannibalism, and mass murder. Peri-mortem and post-mortem indications from hard and soft anatomy underpin our examination of the coldest cases. The Forensic Anthro Lab is a practicum to SBS 333, and is a hands-on approach to the study of human skeletal anatomy.
