7.
Forensic Entomology Pages, International
Although not a very attractive design, the content
is an extensive detailing of forensic entomology seldom
found in other, more graphical sites, which tend to
focus too much on pictures and not information. Seems
to be authored by a Norwegian Entomologist, that last
updated the pages in 2002, but the site proves to
be a good read. Rating - 6/10

8.
Forensic Anthropology
One of the sites who kindly donated some images to
our own website and has some great visual stimulus
for potential forensic anthropologists. It is a site
that communicates greatly through diagram explanations
and clearly explains/compares the various factors
that can be determined from a set of bones. Rating
- 6/10

9.
Discovery Channel : You're on the Case
This is an educational fan site that stimulates an
interest for forensic science through amazing images
and a light design. The 'Photo Gallery', would be
the recommended section for viewing, with exciting
pictures of various fibres. This is more the interactive
site - discussion forum and 'ask the expert' are some
nice sources of answers to any forensic questions.
