Sam D. Stout received his Ph.D. in
physical anthropology from Washington University in St. Louis in
1976, and is currently a Professor of anthropology at The Ohio State
University, and a Professor Emeritus at the University of Missouri.
He is a skeletal biologist specializing in microstructural
(histological) analysis of bone. His research has applications in
both forensic science and bioarchaeolgy. He is a Fellow of the
American Academy of Forensic Sciences, and has served as a
consultant on a number of forensic cases for state and federal
agencies. His expertise has also been called upon to provide
histological age estimations to assist in the identification of
historically important skeletal remains, such as Francisco Pizarro,
Janaab Pakal (Mayan Ruler of Palenque), and the “Sundance Kid.”
