Abstract
This internship focuses on how human remains and skeletal analysis can tell us a great deal about an individual, such as age at death, sex, stature, population affinity, trauma and disease. Techniques learned in Loyola's Human Osteology course have been key in my assistance at The Field Museum of Natural Science and Cook County Medical Examiner's Office. I discuss my experience in working with forensic anthropology cases as well as studying and obtaining metrics on individuals from The Rush Medical Collection of 1898.
