Beschreibung
This book presents the multidisciplinary field of forensic archaeology as complementary but distinct from forensic anthropology. By looking beyond basic excavation methods and skeletal analyses, this book presents the theoretical foundations of forensic archaeology, novel contexts and applications, and demonstrative case studies from practitioners active in the field. Many of the chapters present new approaches and methods not previously covered in other forensic archaeology books, some of which may be of direct use to those conducting criminal investigations.

“This book is of interest particularly to forensic pathologists, as well as to other professionals involved in the investigational process, such as forensic anthropologists and police investigators. ... The book aims to familiarize the audience with this new forensic discipline and to extend the knowledge of the experts interested in this particular field. … Careful reading of this book will provide the reader with the clear definition of forensic archeology and its distinction from forensic anthropology.” (Vedrana Petrovečki, Croatian Medical Journal, Vol. 60 (3), June, 2019)
