    Conceptual Data Model for Forensics - Chapter 2



    in the Forensics book, Anthropology is called "The Science of  
    Bones"


    In other words, the Evidence is predominantly Bones, the
    Analysis involves tests and techniques that are appropriate
    to Bones and the Analysis is the identification of an individual
    human being from the evidence of Bones.

    A number of Participants play different Roles including
    anthropologists, X-ray technicians and photographers.
    Work took place at a number of Locations, including murder
    sites, laboratories and courts.
    A variety of Documents is involved, such as Reports of
    Findings, Court Proceedings and Publications.

    A wide range of activities is involved, which we can classify as
    Events.
