Traditionally, forensic anthropologists use direct assessment of skeletal remains to provide opinions to assist with personal identification.  As a supplement or alternative to other methods using primary identifiers, there are several areas where additional information can be obtained from skeletal remains, using methodologies not previously accessible or available for forensic cases.  Recent advances in Post-Mortem Computed Tomography (PMCT) and application of techniques of radiocarbon dating have resulted in new approaches to Forensic Anthropology case work.  A series of case studies will be presented which demonstrate how PMCT can be used to supplement identification of a deceased.  In addition, cases using radiocarbon dating will  be presented, including determining the most appropriate samples for year of birth/year of death estimation for cold case identifications.
