Forensic Anthropologists at Sisters in Crime Atlanta

I attended the monthly, virtual meeting of Sisters in Crime Atlanta this morning. The program included two forensic anthropologists discussing decomposition of bodies and evidence that can be obtained from skeletal tissue. Kyra Stull, PhD., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Nevada, Reno. As a biological anthropologist, she has a specific interest in human growth and development, modern human variation, forensic anthropology, and quantitative methods. Meredith Tise, PhD., works as a forensic anthropologist with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office in Florida. The program was excellent, and we learned a lot about what can and cannot be determined and with what confidence from skeletal tissue, including biological profiles and trauma defects. The next meeting is May 8, 2021. For more information contact sincatlanta@gmail.com.
