Quantifying Sexual Dimorphism in Scapular Morphology
This project explores sexual differences in scapular morphology through linear measurements (LMs) and geometric morphometric (GM) methods. Traditional LMs assess size while GM methods primarily assess shape. Our two hypotheses are as follows: the human scapula expresses sexual dimorphism in both size and shape, and given that shape differences exist, this bone will producehigher correct classification rates when assessed for sex using GM rather t…
We Think There's Been a Glitch
Forensic anthropology plays a pivotal role in the medicolegal system analyzing skeletal remains in forensic casework. With the increased incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), their continued application in the field promisesenhanced efficiency and accuracy in identification processes, trauma analyses, and decision-making. However, the integration of AI/ML also raises critical ethical concerns. The use of any tec…
Elder Abuse in Forensic Anthropology
This case study reviews the use of forensic anthropology in the investigation of elder abuse. The objectives of this article are to (1) review the minimal literature related to elder abuse in the forensic anthropology and bioarchaeological record, highlighting the importance of the healing continuum and pathological influences; (2) outline the theoretical frameworks that can be applied to forensic anthropological research into elder abuse; and (3…
Maceration Techniques for Human Fetal and Perinatal Bone
Forensic anthropologists working with cases that vary in stages of decomposition are often required to process and macerate remains to complete a forensic analysis. Maceration techniques vary between laboratories, and procedures to facilitate maceration of fetal and perinatal remains are lacking in the literature. This descriptive case study evaluates the use of several maceration techniques for fetal and perinatal remains (n = 2), including cold…
Using Eye-Tracking Technology to Quantify the Effect of Experience and Education on Forensic Anthropological Analyses
The human interpretation of analytical outputs is a significant challenge in forensic science, making it vital to explore the application of protocols as we enhance our practices. This study assesses decision making in forensic anthropological analyses utilizing eye-tracking technology to quantify an observer's estimate of confidence and reliability. Ten individuals with varying levels of education and experience were asked to score cranial morph…
