Poster Description

The forensic database FORDSIC 3.1 is utilized by anthropologists to sort individuals into an ancestral group based off a set of metric measurements. While useful, this database is prone to error as it does not account for the wide array of cranial variation found within populations. This research aims to address this error by comparing the mitogenome sequence/haplogroups of 6 remains found in the University of Montana Forensic Collection to FORDSIC assessments of the remains.
