Forensic anthropology beyond Tennessee’s Body Farm

Bill Bass uses cases from his long career to trace how forensic anthropology moved from a specialized field into a central tool of criminal investigation. The book reaches beyond the Tennessee research site known as the Body Farm, linking the study of decomposition with the practical work of examining remains and interpreting crime scenes. Its subject is the investigative value of bones, bodies, and scientific evidence, alongside an overview of developments in modern forensic science. Framed around real investigations, it presents forensic work as both field research and case-based problem-solving.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • True-crime readers interested in murder investigations and forensic evidence
  • Readers curious about forensic anthropology and human-decomposition research
  • Those seeking case-based nonfiction on the development of modern forensic science

Book overview

A pioneer in forensic anthropology, Dr. Bill Bass created the world's first laboratory dedicated to the study of human decomposition--three acres on a hillside in Tennessee where human bodies are left to the elements. His research has revolutionized forensic science, but during a career that has spanned half a century, Bass and his work have ranged far beyond the gates of the "Body Farm."

In this riveting book, the renowned bone sleuth explores the rise of modern forensic science and takes readers deep into the real world of crime scene investigation. Beyond the Body Farm is an extraordinary journey through some of the most fascinating investigations of Dr. Bass's career--and a remarkable look at the high-tech science used to crack the most perplexing cases.
