Dr. Wilton Marion Krogman was one of the major founders of physical and forensic anthropology in the United States. His extraordinary career spanned nearly six decades, and he was universally admired and respected for his scholarship, teaching, research, wit, and humanity. While studies based on human skeletal remains have long been used to assist the medicolegal system, the late Dr. Krogman can be credited with uniting these areas into the discipline of forensic anthropology. His "Guide to the Identification of Human Skeletal Material" (1939) in the F.B.I. Law Enforcement Bulletin became the foundation of this discipline; his monumental book The Human Skeleton in Forensic Medicine (updated with the author in 1986) solidified its establishment. The purpose of this paper is to pay tribute to this great man and outline his influence on the development and advancement of forensic anthropology.
威尔顿·马里恩·克罗格曼博士是美国体质人类学和法医人类学的主要奠基人之一。他非凡的职业生涯跨越了近六十年，因其学识、教学、研究、智慧和人文精神而广受赞誉和尊敬。虽然基于人类骨骼遗骸的研究长期以来一直被用于协助法医学系统，但已故的克罗格曼博士可被认为是将这些领域整合为法医人类学学科的功臣。他发表于《联邦调查局执法公报》的《人类骨骼材料鉴定指南》（1939年）成为了这一学科的基础；他的巨著《法医学中的人类骨骼》（1986年与作者共同更新）巩固了该学科的建立。本文旨在向这位伟人致敬，并概述他对法医人类学发展和进步的影响。
