Sweetwater Scientific is proud to introduce the only peer-reviewed journal dedicated exclusively to forensic anthropology and archaeology.

Growth in this vital area of research and practice depends on the ability of the scientific community to access, build on, and disseminate proven forensic techniques applicable in an international arena. Adhering to the highest ICMJE/CSE standards, it is JFAA's mission to be the vehicle for standardizing best practices both in the US and across the globe.

		As the foremost source for timely research in the discipline, readers will have first-hand access to vital information in the following key areas: ● Developing universal protocols in evidence collection, preservation, and presentation ● Defining requirements for certification and practice ● Discriminating trauma from postmortem change ● Improving identification techniques at challenging sites (mass graves, explosion sites, and cases of advanced vegetative encroachment or scavenging) ● Geophysical techniques (GPS mapping, ground-penetrating radar, high-resolution metal detection) for locating human remains ● Skeletal and radiologic techniques for investigating war crimes ● Advances in the use of DNA analysis for skeletal identification
Quarterly  ●  ISSN 1939-0793

Balancing hard science with the practical (conference information, job openings, and funding sources) and the esoteric (reports on unusual cases, poetry, and personal vignettes), JFAA is the number-one resource for researchers, graduate students, and all members of the legal and scientific community with an interest in this fascinating field.
