FORS 3301 - Human Osteology
Credit Hours: 4
This course introduces methods and concepts used to analyze human skeletal remains in forensic and archaeological contexts. Osteology is a hands-on course providing a basis for advanced studies such as: comparative anatomy, forensic anthropology, bioarchaeology, paleoanthropology, and gross anatomy. Students will learn standard osteological analyses using real human remains. The course will consist of hands-on lectures and mostly independent laboratory activities. In this course students will learn: 1) how to identify whole and fragmentary human skeletal remains, 2) how to distinguish between human and non-human bone, and 3) how to estimate age, sex, ancestry, and stature of an individual.
