Dr. Margaret A. Streeter came to the Department of Anthropology at Boise State
University in 2005. Her M.A. and Ph.D., both in Physical Anthropology, are from the
University of Missouri-Columbia. Dr. Streeter's interests in forensics, bone
biology, and osteology led to her dissertation topic of histomorphometric characteristics
of the subadult rib cortex, and continue to direct her current research. In addition to
her teaching and research work, Dr. Streeter has served as a forensic consultant with
state and local law enforcement agencies in both Missouri and Idaho.
