An in depth coverage of forensic anthropology, including introduction to core methods and techniques. Students will learn laboratory and field methods necessary for recovery and identification of human remains from forensic contexts. Students will gain an appreciation of the central role of human biological variation in reconstructing aspects such as age at death, sex, and population affinity. They will be encouraged to think about the practices they learn from decolonizing and diversifying standpoints. Through this course, students will work with both real and replica human skeletal remains [3 credits]
