This is more convenient because "having the anthropologists perform both the skeletal and molecular analyses...is that the close proximity of skeletal and molecular analyses can save a great amount of time (Tersigni-Tarrant & Shirley, P.409)." This can also lessen the amount of people who are handling the remains and the evidence, which means less chances of contamination. Additionally, forensic anthropologists are the best choice for deciding how the DNA may be "utilized" when it comes to identifying the remains (Tersigni-Tarrant & Shirley, P.409). It's also helpful for the forensic anthropologist to conduct the DNA analysis themselves because it's a good way to differentiate between "compromised remains," where the only way to identify the body is through DNA testing (Tersigni-Tarrant & Shirley,
