Forensic Anthropology: A Comprehensive Introduction - Natalie R. Langley

The Third Edition of Forensic Anthropology: A Comprehensive Introduction provides a competency-based, learner-centered approach to the modern landscape of forensic anthropology. This updated volume is strategically organized into four sections, designed to transition learners from foundational concepts to the complex realities of professional practice.

This edition serves as an indispensable resource for students at all levels—from undergraduate to PhD—and provides a robust reference for practitioners and instructors. The editors' experiences as former American Board of Forensic Anthropology board members and presidents provide a unique lens into forensic anthropology education, training, and certification. Chapter learning objectives are related to the ABFA's core competencies, which are listed at the end of each chapter. Chapter content is also aligned with ASB (Academy Standards Board) and OSAC (Organization of Scientific Area Committees) standards, which are cited and/or summarized in each chapter for which a standard has been published. Each chapter also provides review questions to ensure learners understand important concepts. Chapter ancillaries—including an Instructor's Manual with Exam Questions, Chapter Exercises, and chapter PowerPointTM slides—are available for adopters and qualified course instructors.
