Skeleton Stories

Katherine Weisensee and Madeline Atwell are two of only four forensic anthropologists in the state of South Carolina. The pair assist law enforcement in recovering and identifying skeletal remains through scientific methods, evaluating skeletal subtleties to estimate an individual’s age-at-death, height and biological sex and detect signs of disease or trauma. The methods they use to facilitate forensic identification are informed by their work as biological anthropologists who examine skeletons to further understand the conditions and circumstances of past populations.
