Christopher Rogers
Currently, I work as a physical anthropologist within the Human Remains Unit at the Natural History Museum, London. I analyse remains to document: ancestry, sex, age at death, stature, pathology and trauma. This analysis utilises a wide variety of techniques including morphometric analysis (anthroposcopic), osteometric analysis, microscopy, and radiology. Additionally, I participate in forensic anthropology casework working alongside a senior forensic anthropologist.
Previous posts include:
Visiting lecturer in forensic science,
Visiting Fellow at the Institute of Forensic Research, Kraków, Poland,
Histologist in a NHS histopathology department.
I hold a BSc(Hons), MSc, and PhD in forensic science and forensic and biological anthropology. Furthermore, I am a professional member of the Forensic Science Society, and Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute.
