Flesh and Bone: An Introduction to Forensic Anthropology offers
the reader a solid background in forensic anthropology by out-
lining some of the methods and procedures that best define the
discipline. It introduces readers to the rapidly growing area
known as forensic science, providing a comprehensive look at many
of the participants in the field. Nafte avoids technical terminology
whenever possible and includes photographs, charts, and illustrations
to complement the text.
The book evolves sequentially, beginning with a discussion of
all things forensic and then continuing to detail the broad field
of anthropology, the process of death, decomposition, and skeletonization.
Methods of identifying the human skeleton, DNA analysis, and the
reconstruction of identity are highlighted. The final chapter
deals with the modern application of forensic anthropology to
human rights missions. Preface. Acknowledgments. About the Author. Introduction.
