Dr Patrick Randolph-Quinney is Senior Lecturer in Biological and Forensic Anthropology, in the School of Forensic and Applied Sciences, University of Central Lancashire. He also holds honorary positions in the School of Anatomical Sciences and the Evolutionary Studies Institute, at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.
A graduate in Archaeological Sciences at the University of Bradford, his broad research interests concern the application of forensic sciences (anthropology, archaeology and taphonomy) into current medico-legal practice and the Evolutionary Anthropology of the deep past. His forensic work focuses on forensic trauma analyses, post-mortem processes (taphonomy), and the use of 3D imaging and statistical shape analyses in human identification. He also has interests in human evolution during the Lower and Middle Pleistocene, and the Earlier and Middle Stone Ages of South Africa. Most recently he has applied forensic taphonomic analyses to fossil assemblages of Australopithecus sediba and Homo naledi to understand patterns of deposition and taphonomy in natural death traps versus deliberate body disposal, and the evolution of hominin mortuary practices.
We hope that you can join us in welcoming Patrick back to Bradford, and attend what promises to be a fascinating lecture.
