Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2008, $107,099)

This project will develop a new technique for predicting facial tissue depths based on underlying bone thicknesses and bone separations along specific anatomical lines. The use of this technique should make it possible for more accurate facial reconstructions, thereby expediting identification of remains and reducing case backlog. ca/ncf
