ABSTRACT
Once human remains have been recovered from the field, they will need to be taken to a place where a complete analysis can be performed. Some sort of laboratory is necessary for this work because of the complex nature of the identification process. It is in the laboratory that the bulk of the work of forensic anthropology is performed, and it is here where problems can occur if the work area does not meet minimum standards. Thus, before any analysis can begin, a properly equipped and properly maintained laboratory must be secured.
