What physical evidence was related to the case? The main physical evidence used to solve this case was the biological DNA evidence from the vaginal swabs from the three elderly women who had been raped. (Saferstein, R. 2009) 4. What was the outcome of the case? In April, 2001 convicted-offender database got what was called a “cold-hit” because the perpetrator of the crime had been convicted of shooting at a residence that was occupied, which in North Carolina requires that the persons DNA be placed in the criminal database.
Tattooing was generally performed during registration when each prisoner was assigned a camp serial number. The original method consisted of the using a metal plate being pressed into the flesh of the prisoner and rubbing dye into the wound. Generally, the tattoo read: AU (for Auschwitz) followed by a number. Some prisoners had "their numbers written on their chest in indelible ink, but this wore off too quickly8." The method of using a hot plate was implemented for prisoners who were too sickly and whose deaths were imminent.
The engine house was built years after the battle over top of a battlefield where men died. When it was being built and dirt was being removed skulls were found in the hill side. This disruption is believed to have lead to the activity, as well as the metal in the railroad tracks is believed to conduct energy that brings the entities to the area. Current employees say it is a normal thing to experience activity every night. One employee states that one night as he was working fifteen confederate soldiers came out of the woods on the hill side and through the Engine house.
The procedure they went through to uncover the warriors was once the farmers discovered the head of a warrior they then called Yuan Zhongyi an archaeologist who first arrived in 1974, with his college Zhao Kangmin who originally collected all the broken pieces of the warrior and then reconstructed the first terra-cotta warrior. Mr Yuan Zhongyi then exposed, processed and recorded the evidence found, this then was the method that the archaeologist were using to uncover more of the tombs. The tomb was excavated by hand, because any use of machinery would/could have disrupted the evidence and could have destroyed the entire army of warriors. Some of the handheld instruments they used were, Marshalltown trowel- used for digging and unearthing artefacts and features, paintbrushes- used for delicate work around artefact and features, Sunnico Pointing Trowel- another tool to use for digging, and several others. Pit 1 is the largest of the three pits.
The purpose of this paper is to outline the findings of the murderers of Ashley Smith and bring her killers to face justice. In this report, I will reflect on how the case was investigated and how I feel that it was handled. I will give a brief synopsis and then advise on the findings. On November3, 2000 two truck drivers found the body of Ashley Nicole Smith, apparently stabbed to death, in a wooded area behind a Pizza Hut in Howard County, Maryland. To see if any information from anyone else would be brought forward, a tip line was established and implemented with an eight thousand dollar reward.
Beyond the Body Farm is a novel comprised of multiple short stories about some of Dr. Bill Bass’ countless experiences over decades as what some call a “bone detective”. Dr. Bass’ detailed accounts of multiple of his favorite and most challenging cases all show the diversity of methods used and the dedication required to be successful in the field of forensic anthropology. More importantly though, these retellings are meant to educate readers on forensic anthropology beyond the boundaries of CSI type television shows, and illustrate the stark contrast between TV and reality. “Shedding Light on a Victim's Bones” was a case which used UV light extensively to determine the identity of the bones. The initial use of the UV light was to conclude
Does Race Exist The issue of if race exists is a complicated one that many cultures have to tried to define. After reading the article on NOVA and looking at the experiments done in class, I have to agree with the proponent's perspective of George W. Gill of the University of Wyoming. I had the opportunity to take a class in forensic anthropology that focused on crime scenes and identification of decomposed bodies last year. It was one of the most engaging classes I have ever taken at the University of Montana. Frequently, when looking at bones, in particular the skull, we would rely on the skull morphology to narrow down what race it originated from along with looking at other variables.. By no means was narrowing down what race it came
This also told him that the site in which he died had changed before he was found. The ice had melted at least once and refroze. Otzi would have floated in the water along with his belongings to new positions. This scientist states Otzi’s ribs were damaged from the pressure of the ice. The evidence to back this up is that samples of food from Otzi’s body were tested for pollen.
As for their religious activities, they buried their dead with tools, weapons and food. Animal bones were found in the burial sites. What this really indicates is that Neanderthals believed that their dead were moving on to a next life. Neanderthals must have wanted to make sure that their loved ones who have died have his/her tools and equipments that he need for his next life. Also there were often carefully arranged bear skulls that suggested some worship rite.
For centuries the Vikings have been remembered as strong barbarians that attacked the last outposts of civilization, pillaging and murdering as they went. While this is certainly true, it is just a small part of who the Vikings were. They were also sailors, traders, farmers, craftsmen, and explorers with a rich tradition and many of the human rights still missing in many countries today. The Viking era spanned over three hundred years, from about 750 to 1050. Archaeologists have found evidence of their civilization not only in their homelands of Norway, Sweden and Denmark, but also as far away as Greece and Baghdad in the "old world" and L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland, Canada in the "new world".
