This talk will cover an overview of the roles of forensic anthropologists today, and in particular the evidence of trauma in a number of human rights cases. In particular, the talk will include issues around terminology, recent updates in trauma analysis, evidence of trauma in forensic anthropology and a number of case studies from the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and the Dictatorship that followed (1939-1975) will illustrate the importance of trauma identification. Moreover, it highlights how forensic anthropologists have a unique set of skills to assist in medico-legal and humanitarian investigations where trauma, pathology and non-metric trait knowledge is important.
