The Forensic Anthropology and Bioarchaeology Laboratory (FAABL) is a research laboratory in the School of Interdisciplinary Forensics, Arizona State University, that is dedicated to investigating the ties between skeletal biology and issues of social identity, health, and human interactions in historical and archaeological contexts, as well as in contemporary society. 

Currently, projects under the umbrella of forensic application focus on improving skeletal trauma analysis and advancing decomposition research and the estimation of post-mortem interval in the Sonoran Desert. Bioarchaeological research is focused on investigating population movement, health & disease, and human interactions in times of conquest and change in medieval Europe. 

The FAABL is a fully-equipped forensic laboratory offering casework services to the valley community and beyond. Requests for consultations should be directed to laboratory PI Dr. Katelyn Bolhofner, PhD, D-ABFA katelyn.bolhofner@asu.edu
