TITLE:

Forensic Recovery of Human Remains Archaeological Approaches





Description

Anthropologists Dupras, John J. Schultz (both U. of Central Florida, Orlando), Sandra M. Wheeler, and Lana J. Williams (both: U. of Western Ontario, London) explain how archaeologists search for, recover, and excavate human remains and associated evidence; and how these methods can be applied to crime scenes. Writing primarily for students and practitioners in law enforcement (but also for anthropologists), they describe techniques for use at less complicated scenes such as single burials, noting that more complicated scenes—multiple or mass burials, water recoveries, or cremations—should have an experienced professional on hand.

Forensic Recovery of Human Remains: Archaeological Approaches focuses on the practical aspects of excavating and recovering human remains, along with any associated evidence, from crime scenes.

Topics include identifying the difference between forensic archaeology and anthropology; employing the correct equipment when conducting searches, recoveries, and excavations; leveraging geophysical technologies used in forensic searches; collecting botanical and entomological evidence; and mapping and documenting scenes.
