Murray Marks, PhD, Associate Professor in Pathology, Dentistry and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, led the 10th Annual Human Remains Recovery School at the UT Forensic Anthropology Center, commonly referred to as the "Body Farm," May 11-15. Forty-five Federal Bureau of Investigation agents that lead the Evidence Response Teams participated in the week-long class to learn discovery and excavation techniques for clandestine graves. The course included sessions on forensic archaeology, anthropology, entomology and dentistry.
Pathology residents Ashley Zezulak, MD, and Samantha Evans, MD, also participated in the course. In addition to Dr. Marks, faculty included his former students and international scholars from Germany, Australia, Canada and Italy.
The UT Forensic Anthropology Center is the only place in the country with this type of hands-on training. To date, the Human Remains Recovery School has trained 450 FBI agents from across the country.
