1 ANTH 176: INTRODUCTION TO FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGY 4 credit hours INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Felicia Madimenos (fmadimen@uoregon.edu) Welcome to Introduction to Forensic Anthropology! This course teaches the basic analysis of human remains for the medico- legal profession, and will cover the history of the discipline, the human skeleton, determining postmortem interval, trauma evaluation, and individual identification. It will also cover the investigation of crime scenes, the role of the forensic anthropologist, and case studies from a number of various situations. REQUIRED MATERIALS: The two required texts for this course are available at the UO Bookstore & on various online book vendors: Introduction to Forensic Anthropology, 4th edition, by S. Byers The Human Bone Manual by T. White and P. A. Folkens. I will supplement additional article readings by posting them to Blackboard. OPTIONAL TEXTS: Human Osteology by T. White Human Osteology: A Laboratory and Field Manual of the Human Skeleton by W. Bass NOTE: There will be no extra credit and I only accept late work in the most extreme of circumstances. COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course teaches the basic analysis of human remains for the medico- legal profession, and will cover the history of the discipline, the human skeleton, determining postmortem interval, trauma evaluation, and individual identification. It will also cover the investigation of crime scenes, the role of the forensic anthropologist, and case studies from a number of various situations. COURSE OUTCOMES: 1

2 1. Comprehension of basic anatomical terminology, specifically the names, features, location, architecture and general characteristics of the bones of the human skeleton. 2. An appreciation for the various disciplines associated with forensic anthropology including archaeology, anatomy and physiology, biology, criminal law, entomology, and geology among others. 3. An understanding of crime scene methods, means of analysis, and age, gender, and ancestry skeletal identification. 4. A basic grasp on the effect on bones of cultural and environmental factors. 5. Ability to comprehend the role of forensic anthropology in the medico- legal community. Your grade in the course will reflect your performance on a blackboard- based midterm and final exam, weekly lab assignments, and weekly quizzes. Weekly quizzes are based on the lab component of the course and will focus on anatomical terminology, bone identification (e.g., features, landmarks), human vs. non- human bone determination, and sex, age, ancestry, and stature estimation. Quizzes are cumulative. Midterm Exam Final Exam Weekly Lab Assignments Weekly Quizzes 25% 25% 20% (9 total/no assignment due Midterm Week [Week 5]) 30% (9 total/no quiz during Midterm Week [Week 5]) Grades will be assigned as follows: A = %, B = 80-89%, C = 70-69%, D = 60-69%, F < 60% (with minus and plus grades assigned at appropriate cutoffs). The grading system used in this course is as follows: A Outstanding performance relative to that required to meet course requirements; demonstrates a mastery of course content at the highest level. B Performance that is significantly above that required to meet course requirements; demonstrates a mastery of course content at a high level. C Performance that meets the course requirements in every respect; demonstrates an adequate understanding of course content. D Performance that is at the minimal level necessary to pass the course but does not fully meet the course requirements; demonstrates a marginal understanding of course content. F Performance in the course, for whatever reason, is unacceptable and does not meet the course requirements; demonstrates an inadequate understanding of the course content.
