FORDISC, or FORensic DISCrimination, is the world's most complete database with regard to the human skeleton. It was established as part of the research undertaken at the University of Tennessee's "Body Farm", and allows data captured from decomposing bodies to be organized and analysed by forensic anthropologists. Using the database, anthropologists can calculate the size, height and possibly sex and age of a victim with just the measurements of a single bone.
