The morning was still chilly when the first human skeleton was discovered. Soon after, another skeleton was uncovered, then another.There was no tragedy – it was simply business as usual at Skeleton Acres, a part of Wichita State’s Forensic Anthropology course. Students in the course travel to a rural area near Leon, KS. During the day they are required to identify the locations where a burial has taken place, plot a grid around the potential site, and carefully excavate and identify the remains.The site is supervised by members of the Butler County Sheriff’s Department. Brenna Barry, a detective with the department says that although Skeleton Acres has been strictly a WSU/Butler County program, it is available for other schools. “We are open to do it with other places. WSU is the only place that’s come to us…”Skeleton Acres is a part of ANTH 600 (co-listed as CJ 600), Forensic Anthropology. The course is instructed by Dr. Peer Moore-Jansen, head of the anthropology department. Moore-Jansen said that although the focus of Skeleton Acres was on criminal investigation work, it can also focus on prehistoric burial sites or cemetery excavations.
