About Us

Home to the pioneering Anthropology Research Facility, also known as the “Body Farm,โ€ and the UTK Donated Skeletal Collection, the Forensic Anthropology Center provides unparalleled resources for studying human decomposition and modern skeletal variation. Through its dynamic body donation program and professional training courses, the Forensic Anthropology Center continues to make significant contributions to science while honoring donors and their families with compassion and respect.
