Abstract

Forensic anthropology is the scientific discipline that applies the methods of physical anthropology and archaeology to the collection and analysis of legal evidence. The work of anthropologists overlaps the work of both the crime scene investigator and the medical examiner (or forensic pathologist) except that they deal with human remains losing legal consequence. ln this paper author reviewed the outline of forensic anthropology and described what experienced through an exhumation of the 4.3 massacre.
