Welcome!

CRANIOFACIALidentification.com is a resource hub that offers information, data and code orientated towards craniofacial analysis and skeletal identification, including skull morphology, skeletal charting, forensic anthropology, craniofacial superimposition and facial approximation techniques.

This website provides the following...

Data Access Points:

  1. Tallied-Facial-Soft-Tissue-Depth-Data (T-Table).
  2. Facial-Soft-Tissue-Depth-Data-Store (C-Table) - version v2018.1

Computer Scripts:

  1. Skelet-o-matic (NEW!) - A Python Shiny app for auto-filled, digital, skeletal homunculi images.
  2. TDValidator - use C-Table data to validation test your newly derived mean FSTTs.
  3. TraumaVision - Record and plot locations of trauma on a skeletal homonculus for large assemblages to visualise trauma distributions and densities.
  4. EasyECD - Automated analysis of IrisPlex SNP data from qPCR results to facilitate iris colour estimation from DNA.
  5. LibraryTracker - For personal library management using a barcode scanner.
  6. SkullProfiler - GUI capability for estimating ancestry and sex from lateral skull photographs.
  7. BodyPlot - BMI and Morphotype plots as used by Stephan et al. (2016) in AJPA.
  8. SkullXtremes - Average skull morphotypes and warp capability for sex and ancestry extremes.
  9. PerspectiveX - R code to calculate subject-to-camera distance and perspective distortion in 2D photographs.
  10. QuickCapture - R code that runs a GUI with three semi-automated and fast landmark aquisition methods from a 2D closed contour using the Conte function described by J. Claude in Morphometrics with R (Springer: New York, 2008). These data are also readily importable to Klingenberg's MorphoJ.
  11. TDStats - v2017.1 released with updated .pdf age scatterplots as described at IACI 2017.

General Features:

  1. Regular updates on new craniofacial identification research.
  2. Downloadable lists of core discipline specific references.
  3. Basic method descriptions and information.
  4. Lists of upcoming professional meetings and conferences.
