New Book: Recovery, Analysis, and Identification of Commingled Human Remains
December 3, 2007
SynopsisThis book brings together tools from diverse sources within forensic science to offer a set of comprehensive approaches to handling commingled remains. The chapters cover remains recovery, laboratory analysis, and even the use of antermortem databases. Many of the chapters are written by authors who exemplify the spirit of interdisciplinary colaboration. Chapters cover the recovery of commingled remains in the field, the use of triage in the assessment of commingling, various analytical techniques for sorting and determining the number of individuals, the role of DNA in the overall process, ethical considerations, and data management. Case examples, such as the World Trade Center attack will be used to illustrate techniques that were found to be successful and those that were found to be problematic. This book will appeal to forensic scientists and archaeologists in the United States and abroad.
