Answer:
Bioarchaeology is a discipline that studies human skeletal remains in an archaeological investigation; while forensic anthropology refers to the study of human skeletal remains in a criminal case
Explanation:
Bioarchaeology is a discipline centered on the study of skeletal remains in order to obtain useful information about past societies/civilizations such as, for example, health conditions. On the other hand, forensic anthropology investigates human skeletal remains within a legal and/or criminal investigation. This information may result useful to identify a dead person, find the cause of death, and estimate time since death.
Similarities:
-Both disciplines have a strong biology background (especially in zoology)
-Both disciplines are focused on skeletal analysis
Differences:
-Bioarchaeology is associated with the anthropological study of human societies, while forensic anthropology associated with legal investigations
