ABSTRACT
In addition to serving as consultants to a medical examiner, coroner, or law enforcement body, forensic anthropologists frequently are asked to testify in court. Although a few forensic anthropologists work full-time in this capacity, most have academic employment at a college or university and do forensic work part-time. They also participate in forensic teams, often international in scope, mobilized to investigate mass fatalities, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. In the United States, the regional Disaster Mor tu ary Operational Response Teams (DMORTs) that process mass fatalities for the Federal Emergency Management Agency include forensic anthropologists. In addition, U.S. military death investigations routinely involve forensic anthropologists.
