Forensic Research Lab
Department of Anthropology


The Forensic Research Lab at Turlington Hall is a teaching laboratory for students interested in forensic identification, trauma analysis, osteology and skeletal biology. The laboratory are located in B-342 Turlington Hall.

Students have utilized the laboratory space in B-342 for various projects ranging from traditional morphometric analysis of the mandible to three-dimensional coordinate analysis of cranial head shape. The lab houses anatomical specimens, casts and archived forensic cases, as well as a unique reference collection of medical, dental and mortuary artifacts from commercially cremated human remains. The lab also houses equipment and materials for three dimensional facial sculpture and forensic art, light microscopy, 3-D data collection, and viewing of radiographs.

The laboratory's only entrance has a card-activated locking system so that access is controlled by Dr. Warren, so that a security record is kept that meets strict standards for evidence control. You can follow this link to Michael's homepage.
