Forensic anthropology is a specialized branch of applied anthropology that uses the principles and methods of biological anthropology, archaeology, anatomy, and forensic science to assist in the identification of human remains and to support the administration of justice. A practicing anthropologist in forensic anthropology works closely with law enforcement agencies, forensic pathologists, medico-legal authorities, disaster management teams, and judicial institutions. Their primary objective is to provide scientifically valid interpretations of skeletal remains, contributing to criminal investigations, humanitarian efforts, and legal proceedings. One of the foremost roles of a practicing forensic anthropologist is the recovery of human remains from crime scenes, disaster sites, or mass graves. They apply archaeological excavation techniques to ensure that skeletal remains and associated evidence are carefully documented and preserved. Proper excavation minimizes the loss of evidence and helps reconstruct the sequence of events surrounding death. Detailed recording of the spatial relationship between bones, artifacts, and environmental features is essential for forensic interpretation. A practicing anthropologist is responsible for determining whether recovered remains are human or non-human. This distinction is crucial before further forensic investigations proceed. Once confirmed as human, the anthropologist establishes the biological profile of the deceased by estimating age at death, sex, ancestry, and stature. Age estimation is performed using skeletal maturation, dental development, cranial suture closure, and degenerative changes. Sex estimation relies on pelvic and cranial morphology, while ancestry is inferred from craniofacial characteristics and metric analyses. Stature is reconstructed using long bone measurements and established anthropometric formulae. Identification of unknown individuals is another major responsibility. The forensic anthropologist compares skeletal findings with missing persons' records, dental records, medical history, radiographs, and DNA evidence. They identify unique skeletal traits,
