In this passage from Kathy Reichs book, a number of different forensic
science disciplines are used to reach a conclusion.
Anthropology and Pathology
The bodies were exhumed and then examined by an anthropologist (the
heroine Tempe Brennan), they were also examined by a pathologist in an
earlier chapter.

|
|
Entomology
Tempe then sent samples of maggots, pupa casings and flies to an
entomologist, Lou. |
|
|
|
Analytical Chemistry
These samples after examination by Lou are submitted to an analytical
chemist for analysis of the insects for drugs of abuse and their
metabolites. |

|
Toxicology
Finally the results would be interpreted by a toxicologist. |
