Dr. Tanya Peckmann
Hello there!
Welcome to Osteoforensics — forensic anthropology courses taught by someone who really does Forensic Anthropology.
I am a university Professor with over 25 years' experience in teaching, research, curriculum and program development, and supervision of undergraduate and graduate students in Forensic Anthropology.
For 15 years, I consulted for the Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service (Halifax, Canada) on over 200 forensic anthropology cases.
My work spanned:
- Surface-scattered remains
- Buried bodies
- Fatal fire scenes
- Specialized analyses in victim identification and skeletal trauma
- I have also been called to testify in court as an expert witness
I am passionate about teaching and look forward to exploring forensic anthropology with you!
