Changing the Landscape of Identity in Forensic Anthropology

Inferring Age at Death for Japanese and Thai Skeletal Samples under a Bayesian Framework of Analysis
A critical step in age-at-death estimation is to identify the age-at-death distribution to which the unknown skeletal remains most likely belong. Age estimation based on a frequentist approach assumes that the age distribution of the target population is same as that of the reference sample. In a Bayesian framework, researchers have greater flexibility, with the freedom to specify mortality information via a prior distribution and integrate it wi…
Classification Trends among Contemporary Filipino Crania Using Fordisc 3.1
Filipinos represent a significant contemporary demographic group globally, yet they are underrepresented in the forensic anthropological literature. Given the complex population history of the Philippines, it is important to ensure that traditional methods for assessing the biological profile are appropriate when applied to these peoples. Here we analyze the classification trends of a modern Filipino sample (n = 110) when using the Fordisc 3.1 (F…

An Admixture Approach to Trihybrid Ancestry Variation in the Philippines with Implications for Forensic Anthropology
In this study, we investigated, for the fijirst time from a forensic anthropological perspective, the question of mixed ancestry estimation for modern Filipinos with geographic origins in the Philippines. We derived estimates of continental ancestry using craniometrics from four sources: a new documented collection of current forensic signifijicance from the Manila North Cemetery; the Howells cranial series representing a sample of unclaimed indi…
Temporal, Geographic and Identification Trends in Craniometric Estimates of Ancestry for Persons of Latin American Origin
Recent genotypic analyses of U.S.-Mexico border-crossing fatalities reveal greater indigenous ancestry in individuals who are currently unidentified and have been recovered in more recent years-called an "identification bias" in the forensic case analysis of Hispanics of Mexican origin. Given the implications of these findings for the human identification process, this study uses craniometrics to validate these genotypic results. We test if the d…
Temporal Patterns of Mexican Migrant Genetic Ancestry
Motivated by the humanitarian crisis along the US-Mexico border and the need for more integrative approaches to migrant death investigations, we employ both biological and cultural anthropology perspectives to provide insight into these deaths and the forensic identification process. We propose that structural vulnerabilities linked to ethnicity impact the success of identifying deceased migrants. Using forensic genetic data, we examine the relat…
