The Forensic Anthropology Data Bank

The Forensic Anthropology Data Bank is a vital resource that collects and organizes information related to human skeletal remains. It helps forensic anthropologists analyze bones to determine identity, age, sex, ancestry, and other characteristics, which can be crucial in criminal investigations. By accumulating data from various cases, the bank allows researchers to identify patterns and improve techniques, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of forensic analysis. This repository supports law enforcement and legal proceedings by providing a scientific basis for understanding skeletal evidence in both historical and contemporary contexts.
