ARCHAEOLOGY/ANCIENT HUMAN REMAINS Archaeology is the scientific study of past cultures and the way people lived based on the things they left behind. Archaeological techniques involve finding the site, use of specialists, use of technology, dating methods, and preservation/ conservation. From the techniques used to study the remains of human bodies and the specific locations in which they were found, it is possible to learn details of their lives prior to their deaths and then later preservation. Three specific cases where the study of human remains has led to an insight into the persons life are the Ice man, Lindow man, and Tollund man. Finding the site is the first step which involves chance finds where archaeologists come across the remains…

I chose to research about a Forensic Anthropologist. It applies the study of physical anthropology and human skeletons in a legal setting, most often in criminal cases. They determine the manner and time of death for decomposed, burned or mutilated corpses. The responsibilities of this job include identifying human remains and so on. For example, Forensic Anthropologists may examine clues found in association with the remains to address such issues as the location of the body, the time since death, and whether or not a body has been moved. I chose this field because I would like to see how people study dead bodies. I find that Anthropologist’s can study skeletons up to thousands of years old to be very interesting. The aspects that they are helping to identify old bodies are beneficial. I don’t find any aspects negative.…

Imagine having a job where you have to examine and analyze bones all the time. That's what forensic anthropologists do. But it's not as easy as it sounds. Forensic anthropology is examination of human skeletal and decomposing remains in a legal setting to establish the identity of unknown individuals to help determine the cause of death. According to paragraph 1 in the article "What is forensic anthropology?" by R.U. Steinberg, forensic anthropologists usually work in crime scenes, political atrocities, and suspicious death. They collect, prepare, and analyze human remains. They identify the cause of death, work with forensic odotologists and testify in court about the victim's identity.…

Forensic anthropology complements humans rights work in many ways, as summarized in Burns’ article. Burns breaks apart forensic anthropology and human rights work, by describing what the fields are fundamentally as well as, describing the history of forensic anthropology and the steps a forensic scientist takes. Burns also shows how each discipline promotes each other, differ from one another, are enacted simultaneously and what they can accomplish. Altogether, Burns argues that human rights crimes are happening everywhere, specifically in places that are said to be dedicated to human rights, such as the citizens of the Philippines who are held at gun point. Forensic anthropology can help amend this worldly problem by providing physical evidence…
Forensic anthropology is the study of human remains. Forensic anthropology, as well as many other forensic studies there is a process, this process includes whether or not the material is bone, whether the bone came from a human or a non-human animal, what bone's are present, are the bone's modern or ancient, who the individual is, sex, age, ancestry, stature, these and others help understand what anthropology is. Determining whether the material is bone sounds simple right? Well wrong, in fact a large number of materials can be mistaken as bone or bone fragments at first glance, materials like…
Human remains is a very controversial topic in the world of science but to be more specific in the world of Anthropology. What are exactly human remains? Well human remains is described as; “The physical remains of the body of a person of Native American ancestry/ The term does not include remains or portions of remains that may reasonably be determined to have been freely given or naturally shed by the individual from whose body they were obtained, such as hair made into ropes or nets/ For the purposes of determining cultural affiliation, human remains incorporated into a funerary object, sacred object, or object of cultural patrimony must be considered as part of that item” (Basham). So should human remains be objects in…
