Bones: A Forensic Detective's Casebook by Douglas H. Ubelaker

One of the first forensic anthropology books in my collection and one of the best. Ubelaker's writing is interesting without getting bogged down in needless detail. I also like the fact that his tone isn't self-congratulatory.

Bones, a forensic detective's casebook by Douglas H. Ubelaker

Good examples of physical anthropology used as a detection tool prior to the expanded use of DNA
