\nWord of Advice About the Field of Forensic Anthropology<\/h4>
\nWhile many cases examined by a Forensic Anthropologist are skeletonized, Forensic Anthropologists\u00a0are also frequently called upon to work on cases with significant amounts of soft tissue in various stages of decomposition. All students entering this field of study should take this fact into consideration. Working with this type of material is difficult and involves unpleasant smells and sights, including decomposing flesh, insect activity and potentially disturbing case details. This work, while difficult, is very rewarding and can allow you to be part of a team that can provide significant information to investigators to help solve medicolegal and missing person cases.
