This very thorough site will fascinate those interested in forensic anthropology. You will learn what you can read from bones, how a face can be reconstructed from a skull, clues you can read from a burial, and about forensic cases both recent and centuries old. One section focusses on how lost African American graves in Chesapeake are being found and how the occupants are being identified.
