Короткий опис (реферат):
Bone examination plays a crucial role in forensic medicine and criminology. It not only allows for the identification of individuals and determination of the cause of death but also provides important information for understanding the circumstances leading to death. This information is critically important for ensuring justice in criminal investigations and civil cases. This article analyzes contemporary literature from domestic and international scientific communities, describing the main methods and their features in the examination of skeletal remains. The aim of the study is to analyze scientific literature on the features of the examination of skeletal remains and their significance in the work of a forensic expert. During the search for information on the features of skeletal remains examination, various combinations of keywords were used: "forensic anthropology," "thanatology," "skeletal remains," "charred," "time since death," "postmortem interval estimation," and others. The review covers the past 10 years. After reviewing the annotations and full texts of over 78 articles, 33 sources of domestic and foreign literature were selected for review. In the process, a bibliosemantic method was used to determine the state of the outlined issues, as well as to study and analyze the results of scientific research presented in literary sources and electronic resources. As a result, it was found that modern scientific trends show that the examination of skeletal remains is a dynamic field that is constantly evolving. Despite significant progress, many problems remain that require further research and methodological improvement. The introduction of new technologies and methods will enhance the accuracy and efficiency of experts' work, ensuring reliable results for legal and scientific purposes. Therefore, it is important not only to implement new technologies and examination methods in the future but also to improve existing research methods.
