Comparative Skeletal Anatomy: A Photographic Atlas for Medical Examiners, Coroners, Forensic Anthropologists, and Archaeologists fills a void in the literature by providing a comprehensive photographic guide of both human and non-human bones. This volume is a photographic atlas of common animal bones and is the first to focus comparatively on both human and animal osteology. The goal of this guide is to help experienced archaeologists, forensic scientists, or forensic pathologists in human/veterinary medicine distinguish human remains from common animal species, including horses, cows, goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, sheep, and pigs, among others. 341 p.
