General Site Description

The eForensics.info website, a spin-off site from eSkeletons.org, presents the more advanced student with forensic case studies within a rich problem solving context that applies what they have learned from the eSkeletons site. Teaching modules for age estimation, sex determination, and, with the use of on-screen digital caplipers, stature estimation are available. Questions in assessing ancestry, pathology, and taphonomic processess are also addressed.
