Summary:
These fascinating cases that establish the identities of skeletons through the tools of forensic anthropology are presented as mysteries to be solved.
Teaching Ideas:
Teachers may want to excerpt sections to use with newspaper accounts of unsolved crimes or other subjects that involve skeletons (Egypt, Lucy). The text offers ample opportunity for vocabulary development. The photographs illustrate the text especially well. It could be paired with The Cliff Dwellers of Mesa Verde, another book in which science helps solve puzzles about the past.
