Forensic anthropology is the application of the science of physical anthropology and human osteology (the study of the human skeleton) in a legal setting, most often in criminal cases where the victim's remains are more or less skeletonized. A forensic anthropologist can also assist in the identification of deceased individuals whose remains are decomposed, burned, mutilated or otherwise unrecognizable. The adjective "forensic" refers to the application of this subfield of science to a court of law.

There are few people who identify themselves as forensic anthropologists, and in the United States and Canada, there are less than 100 Anthropologists certified by the American Board of Forensic Anthropology. Furthermore, there are only about 40 who are currently active in the field.[1] Most diplomats (DABFA) work in the academic field and consult on casework as it arises.

Maybe you could find out more about it if you spell it right when you search for info-it is spelled anthropology. Try that and I bet you will find all sorts of info.
