Unprovenanced Anatomical Crania: A Stepwise Protocol Integrating Epitaphonomic Signature and Population Affinity
Unprovenanced skeletal remains housed in anatomy laboratories, medical schools, and museums present a persistent ethical challenge when the human skeletal remains potentially represent historically marginalized or legally protected populations. Reliance on a single line of evidence, like epitaphonomic indicators or population affinity estimates, may result in incomplete or misleading assessments. Herein, we present a structured, non-destructive p…
Accessibility and Educational Standards in Human Osteology through Digital Learning Practices
This article explores the growing use of digital tools in teaching human osteology, highlighting the need for standardized educational practices in biological anthropology and proposing ways to enhance accessibility and ethical guidelines through digital pedagogy. Digital tools are becoming more prominent in the teaching and education of human skeletal remains. Currently, no standards exist regarding educational practices utilizing digital pedago…
Landmark and Measurement-Based Data Assistant (LAMbDA): A Pedagogical Tool for Cranial Landmark Data Collection
Cranial landmarks have been used in research and casework since the late 19th century, at which time some of the earliest landmark and measurement definitions were codified. Over the last two to three decades, however, many biological anthropologists have shifted from taking traditional caliper-derived measurements to using a three-dimensional (3D) digitizer to collect spatial coordinate landmark data. The increasing use of landmark-based data co…
New Approaches to Juvenile Age Estimation in Forensics: Application of Transition Analysis via the Shackelford et al. Method to a Diverse Modern Subadult Sample
Dental development is one of the most widely utilized and accurate methods available for estimating age in subadult skeletal remains. The timing of tooth growth and development is regulated by genetics and less afffected by external factors, allowing reliable estimates of chronological age. Traditional methodology focuses on comparing tooth developmental scores to corresponding age charts. Using the Moorrees, Fanning, and Hunt (MFH) developmental…
