Abstract

Analysis and application of the forensic osteological techniques on the skeletal remains for identification purposes constitute the basic field of forensic anthropology. A Forensic anthropologist collaborates with other experts from different disciplines. In this study, skeletal remains, which were sent to our laboratory as forensic case, were anthropologically analyzed. In this context, biological profile (age, sex and stature) numbers of individuals of the skeletal remains were determined and trauma analysis was performed. Furthermore, multidisciplinary study was done and holistic examination was done through aggregation of different disciplines. In terms of eventuation and clarification of the forensic investigation, it was tried to emphasize that it has importance to establish a multidisciplinary team in addition to perform forensic anthropological examinations

Adli Antropolojik İncelemelerde "Bütünsel Yaklaşım": Multidisipliner Bir Çalışma

Abstract

İskelet buluntularının kimliklendirme amaçlı analiz edilmesi ve üzerinde adli osteoloji tekniklerinin tatbik edilmesi Adli Antropolojinin temel çalışma alanını oluşturmaktadır. Adli antropolog bu çalışmayı farklı disiplinlere ait uzmanlar ile işbirliği içerisinde yapar. Bu araştırmada, Muş ilinden adli vaka kapsamında laboratuarımıza gönderilen iskelet buluntuları analiz edilmiştir. Bu kapsamda, iskelet buluntularının biyolojik profili (yaş, cinsiyet ve boy tahmini), birey sayısı belirlenmiş ve travma analizi yapılmıştır. Bununla birlikte, farklı disiplinlerin bir araya gelmesi suretiyle multidisipliner bir çalışma yürütülmüş ve bütünsel bir inceleme yapılmıştır. Adli bir vakaya ait yürütülen soruşturmada, adli antropolojik bir inceleme yapılmasının yanında bütünsel bir inceleme yapılmasının ve multidisipliner bir çalışma ekibinin kurulmasının yürütülen soruşturmanın sonuçlandırılması ve aydınlatılması açısından çok önem arz ettiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır
