Patrick Randolph-Quinney

Reader in Biological and Forensic Anthropology

Forensic human identification, Forensic taphonomy, Palaeoanthropology, Forensic trauma analysis, Geometric morphometric methods

I am Reader in Biological and Forensic Anthropology, in the School of Forensic and Applied Sciences, University of Central Lancashire, UK. My broad research interests concern the application of multi-disciplinary forensic sciences (anthropology, archaeology and taphonomy) into current medico-legal practice and the Evolutionary Anthropology of the deep past. I have extensive forensic casework experience in anthropology and forensic archaeology. With over 25 years’ archaeological and palaeoanthropolgical field experience, I have practical and research interests in human evolution during the Lower and Middle Pleistocene, the Earlier and Middle Stone Ages of Africa, and skeletal trauma with an emphasis on inter-personal violence, and in resulting skeletal trauma from sharp, blunt and projecmore...
