An Approach to Aging Fetal and Infant Remains using Dental Microstructure
An Approach to Aging Fetal and Infant Remains using Dental Microstructure
Precise and accurate estimates of age of fetal and infant individuals are critical to resolve death investigations. This research seeks to explore age estimations of fetal, infants, and children using cross-striations of the enamel. Further, this research seeks to explore the utility of the neonatal line in forensic anthropology.

Creation, Maintenance, and Mobility of Neolithic Communities in Central Anatolia
Creation, Maintenance, and Mobility of Neolithic Communities in Central Anatolia
The Neolithic marks the shift from a mobile hunting and gathering lifestyle to one centered on production and consumption of domesticated plants and animals and life in sedentary villages. Central Anatolia in Turkey is a key location in the development and spread of the domestication of plants and animals. However, little is known about the genetic and social structure of this region during the Neolithic. The goal of the project is to fill this gap through bioarchaeological and genetic studies of these central Anatolian Neolithic communities. This study marks a new approach to exploring archaeological questions through a robust integration of genetics, archaeology, and osteology.

A Dental Anthropological Databank for Use in the Study of Modern Human Variation
A Dental Anthropological Databank for Use in the Study of Modern Human Variation
Within forensic anthropological analyses the dentition are commonly overlooked as a source of data for the estimation of the biological profile, despite their extensive use in other realms of biological anthropology. Much is known about the heritability, population variation, sexual dimorphism, secular change, evolution, and development of tooth morphology and size. As such they are particularly well-suited to forensic anthropological analyses. This research has created : (1) a large databank of dental data based on modern and archaeological samples, (2) a referential database that can be used in the collection of dental data (see Dentabank link above), and (3) a statistical program that will estimate ancestry and sex based on these dental data that can be used in forensic casework in the United States, rASUDAS.

Professionalization, Qualifications, and Ethics in Bioarchaeology and Forensic Anthropology
Professionalization, Qualifications, and Ethics in Bioarchaeology and Forensic Anthropology
This project is exploring the role of increasing need for professionalization in the sub-disciplines of bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology. It is necessary to outline qualifications, develop best practices, and codify ethical codes.
