Forensic Anthropology is a dynamic field that continues to evolve with new research
and augmented experience through case applications. The primary components of forensic
anthropology (recovery, determination of human status, age at death, sex, ancestry,
stature, and time since death, identification and assessment of evidence of foul play) all
have advanced in recent years. The nature of this advancement reflects sustained research
initiatives, growing numbers of scholars involved in the field, professionalization and
the close link between forensic anthropology and the larger academic field of physical
anthropology
