Fifth and last day of the workshop (FASE basic workshop 2022 – Heraklion) #FASE

Today’s program included the estimation of the post-mortem interval, the identification of individuals, the contribution of imaging to the study of bone trauma and details on taphonomy in specific environments.

The practical workshops of the afternoon once again allowed our trainees to improve their skills in estimating the minimum number of individuals found in a bone assemblage, and in the complete handling of skeletons to be appraised.

Our “FASE basic workshop + Symposium 2022” in Heraklion, was a real success thanks to the work of an absolutely great team from the University of Crete!

Thank you to:
– Elena Kranioti, Associate Professor in Forensic Medicine and FASE Board Member
– Despina Flouri, Resident in Forensic Pathology
– Eleni Kontzinou, Resident in Forensic Pathology
– Dimitra Karyda, Researcher in Biology (graduate)
– Sophia Mavroudas, currently postdoc in Crete, Texas State Univ. USA
– Julieta G. Garcia Donas, currently Research Associate in Crete, Lecturer in Forensic Anthropology at the University of Dundee

You will have the opportunity to meet them all during our next “FASE 20th Anniversary Symposium” in Marseille (France).


In 2023, the Forensic Anthropology Society of Europe (FASE) will be 20 years of age!

Join us to celebrate this event, from the 30th of august to the 1st of september 2023 in the beautiful city of Marseille, France.

Ann Ross’ lab would look perfectly normal were it not for the skeletons on the tables.

There are three skeletons laying flat on separate tables. Two are fairly in tact, lined up from head to toe. The third comprises several charred bones, burned after death.

Ross runs the North Carolina Human Identification & Forensics Analysis Laboratory, which contracts with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for forensic anthropological casework statewide. She examines the remains of humans to help determine how they died and, if unknown, who they were. As a professor of biological sciences at NC State, she teaches students how to do the same. 

“This is an active forensics lab,” Ross said. “It’s not your normal research lab.”

Welcome to our newly certified experts!

FASE counts 4 more certified colleagues!
