  • Characteristics of Vertebral Body Augmentation in Human Skeletal Remains

    N V Passalacqua, Nicholas Passalacqua et al.ARTICLEForensic Anthropology2025

    Vertebral body compression fractures are extremely common in adults in the United States, particularly postmenopausal women. Vertebral body compression fractures are associated with increased mortality and morbidity and often require medical intervention. Vertebral augmentations such as percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are routinely used to treat vertebral body compression fractures. Here we present two unrelated case studies of willed…

  • Origins of Forensic Anthropology in the United States

    N V Passalacqua, Nicholas Passalacqua et al.ARTICLEForensic Anthropology2024Citada por: 1

    Traditional histories of forensic anthropology focus on key figures, events, and/or publications within a larger narrative of disciplinary formation and expansion. These histories typically highlight individuals such as Thomas Dwight or institutions such as the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History. This project represents an interdisciplinary collaboration with the goal of shedding new light onto the origins of forensic an…

  • Maceration Techniques for Human Fetal and Perinatal Bone

    Rhian Dunn, Rhian R Dunn et al.ARTICLEForensic Anthropology2023

    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…

  • Salaries in Forensic Anthropology and Academic Anthropology

    N V Passalacqua, Nicholas Passalacqua et al.ARTICLEForensic Anthropology2020Citada por: 4

    This project examined the salaries of forensic anthropologists in the United States. Additionally, the salaries of forensic anthropologists employed in academia were compared to those of other academic anthropologists. The goal of this project was to develop baseline data in terms of salaries for forensic anthropologists while also examining various factors that may affect forensic anthropology salaries. Salary information is important because sa…

    Certification through the American Board of Forensic Anthropology (ABFA) provides forensic anthropologists with accredited validation of the highest level of qualifications (including education and training) and professionalism in the discipline, through rigorous vetting of an applicant's casework, knowledge, and skill. It encourages adherence to best practice methodological and ethical standards and provides a system of recognition of qualified …

  • Why Are There So Many Women in Forensic Anthropology

    M A Pilloud, Marin Pilloud et al.ARTICLEForensic Anthropology2020Citada por: 1

    There is broad discussion of the higher numbers of women in the forensic sciences, particularly when compared to other science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. In this discussion, we focus on forensic anthropology. We begin with an historical overview of the role of women in the discipline; data are then provided that outline the numbers of women scholars and practitioners over time. We then explore the different roles of men and…

  • Intersite Analysis of Victims of Extra- and Judicial Execution in Civil War Spain

    Open AccessDerek Congram, N V Passalacqua et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Anthropological Practice2014Referências: 4

    More than 150,000 executions took place during and soon following the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939)-many without any judicial proceedings and mostly of noncombatants. As a result of disinterested postwar governments, nongovernmental organizations-representing families of victims-have insisted on finding the graves and exhuming the dead for identification and repatriation. This study examines skeletal gunshot trauma patterns from three extrajudici…
