Forensic Anthropology

 Forensic Science is the Scientific analysis and interpretation of physical evidence in a court of law.  One of the number one contributors to forensic science is crime scene evidence.  Without this physical evidence, investigators would have very little information leading to a suspect.  After all the evidence is gathered at the crime scene it is taken to a lab where is becomes the job of the forensic scientist to analyze it and find clues linking it to a suspect. 

  To narrow down the field of Forensic Science it's best to talk about the specialist who actually examine the evidence. The specialist listed below are the ones that I think are most often use.  To learn about each of these specialist click on one of the links to the left.
