runs out of ways to identify human remains‚ DNA can play a key role in the identification process. The most common methods of identification by a forensic anthropologist include "detailed skeletal and dental features‚" of the remains‚ but they are sometimes asked to perform DNA profiles as well (Arismendi‚ Baker‚ & Matteson‚ 2004). According to the paper by Arismendi‚ Baker‚ and Matteson‚ when the common modes of identification do not yield any results‚ "DNA typing may provide a further avenue of investigation
