Holistic Approach in Forensic Anthropological Examinations: A Multidisciplinary Study

Analysis and application of the forensic osteological techniques on the skeletal remains for identification purposes constitute the basic field of forensic anthropology. A Forensic anthropologist collaborates with other experts from different disciplines. In this study, skeletal remains, which were sent to our laboratory as forensic case, were anthropologically analyzed. In this context, biological profile (age, sex and stature) numbers of individuals of the skeletal remains were determined and trauma analysis was performed. Furthermore, multidisciplinary study was done and holistic examination was done through aggregation of different disciplines. In terms of eventuation and clarification of the forensic investigation, it was tried to emphasize that it has importance to establish a multidisciplinary team in addition to perform forensic anthropological examinations.
