YVONNE KJORLIEN
Yvonne Kjorlien has been a consulting archaeologist and physical anthropologist since 1998. Her specialized work includes:
The Scavenging Study: She lead the Alberta portion of a cross-Canada study investigating how animal scavengers (like coyotes and bears) scatter human remains. This research helps forensic investigators more effectively search for and recover evidence.
The Scattered Podcast: She hosts this podcast, which explores the search for stories behind human remains through interviews with experts in forensics, archaeology, and death care.
Consultation & Training: She offers forensic anthropology and archaeology consultation for law enforcement and volunteer search groups.
