Anthropology—Theory and Practice  \nCHARLES P.WARRENDepartment of AnthropologyUniversity of Illinois at Chicago Circle,1977  \n# Forensic Anthropology as a Subdiscipline\n\nForensic science is the study and practice of the application of science to thepurpose of law.Theoretically,forensic anthropology is the application ofanthropological methods and techniques to the resolution of legal problems.Inpractice,with some exceptions,forensic anthropology is the recognition andanalysis of hominid anatomicalstructures,primarily for the purpose of personalidentification of unknown human remains(11).  \nThe associated research is concerned with the characteristics of both softand hard tissues of human remains,and the methodological techniques whichhave been developed contribute to the determination of sex,race,age,stature,muscularity,hair analyses,body fluid typing,anomalies,non-metric traits,discriminant trait analyses,and the blood-grouping of bone.The research is  \nPALEOP

the basic concepts of osteology  \nfurther concerned with the anlayses of structural modification of both soft andhard tissues of human remains as induced by decomposition vectors,woundsand pathology,animal marks,bone changes in salt water,plant activity onbones,the impact of the environment on bones,and other related investigationswhich help to reconstruct the history of the remains.  \nRegardless of the research interests,the applied skills,or the specializationtitles of the forensic anthropologist—physical anthropologist,bioanthropolo-gist,bioarchaeologist,human paleontologist,criminalistician,or mass disasterexpert,that is,some form of identification specialist who works with humanremains—one must accept the fact that the recognition and analysis of humanteeth and bones are basic to forensic anthropology—and to the anatomicalforensic sciences in general.It is essential that the practitioner of forensicanthropology—whatever the parent discipline may be—have ample competencein the fields of general human skeletal and dental anatomy and be fairly wellacquainted with the up-to-date techniques of anthropological osteology.  \nComparative human osteology is the core discipline which providesfunctional data for at least eight areas of anthropological interest,as follows:human growth studies;paleopathology;paleoanthropology;bioarchaeology;the anatomical forensic sciences;criminalistics;forensic odontology;anddisaster and military personal identification (see Fig.1).The latter will be ofmajor concern in the discussion which follows,but throughout the discussionthe importance of anthropological osteology will be stressed.  \n## An Example of a Job Description\n\nAn example of the role of the forensic anthropologist in disaster andmilitary identification is outlined in the job description for the physicalanthropologist(5)employed in the U.S.Army Central IdentificationLaboratory(CILTHAI),formerly located in Sattahip,Thailand,during therecent military conflict in Southeast Asia(1,2,3,4,10).  \nThe physical (forensic)anthropologist receives general administrativesupervision from the Chief,Central Identification Laboratory,who assigns theoverall responsibilities and discusses the major projects,field trips,andproblems which affect established policy or those requiring additional personnelor equipment.The work of the anthropologist is conducted independently,withonly occasional outside professional consultation,and the completedidentification work is normally accepted as final.The laboratory findings of theanthropologist and his co-workers are reviewed for effectiveness,results,andconformance with established policy.  \nThe major duties are to serve as a
