What tools or equipment does a forensic anthropologist use?

Forensic anthropologists use a variety of tools and equipment to analyze human skeletal remains, including calipers for measuring bone dimensions, osteometric boards for recording bone lengths, dental instruments for examining teeth, and x-ray machines for imaging bones. They also utilize microscopes for detailed analysis of bone tissue, digital cameras for documentation, and specialized software for creating 3D reconstructions of skeletal remains. Additionally, forensic anthropologists may use chemical reagents for analyzing bone composition and a taphonomic kit for assessing postmortem changes to bones.
