ABSTRACT
Forensic anthropology is the field of study concerned with the identification of suspected or known human remains from medico-legal contexts. Attitudes toward the human body, death and dying in the contemporary world were anecdotally surveyed for students undertaking a Master of Science degree in forensic and biological anthropology in Bournemouth University. In the case of forensic anthropology, however, there are relatively few national and international associations with formal codes of ethics. Training in forensic anthropology has traditionally been associated with education in archaeology. In the case of forensic anthropology in the UK, there is emerging debate about the need for practitioners of forensic anthropology to obtain training in medical schools. Although there is no association of forensic anthropologists in the UK, the Council for the Registration of Forensic Practitioners (CRFP) has provided forensic anthropologists with the opportunity of obtaining formal accreditation.
