I am planning on interviewing a forensic anthropologist Ms. Wolcott who is a rather helpful alumni of the Forensic Science Academy Club and has a masters degree in Forensic Anthropology from UCLA. As a practicing individual of my field I know that she will be able to give me a lot of helpful input into answering my essential question.
- What is the most important factor of a skeletal remain in a criminal investigation? Why?
- How accurate is the skull in determining the sex of an individual?
- What can cause confusion of human skeletal remains with those of non-human remains? Why?
- Can the preservation of the bone be used in order to determine the time of death? Why?
- Why is Carbon-14 not commonly used when determining the age of the skeletal remains?
- How will the scientific analysis obtained from studying the remains assist a criminal investigation?
- How can you analysize ancestral background by only using the skull?
- What is the number one rule to follow when identifying skeletal remains in a criminal investigation? Why?
- How can the presence of bone deformation or abnormal bone tissue growth effect the analysis that will be obtained?
- Under what environmental conditions do the skeletal remains get damaged? How so?
