The field of forensic archaeology has developed over recent years from being a branch of conventional archaeology into a well-established discipline in its own right. Forensic Approaches to Buried Remains takes an innovative approach to the subject by placing the role of the forensic archaeologist within the wider forensic environment; it identifies new areas of interdisciplinary research and practice, and evaluates practical difficulties.

The authors see this book as a reflection of the subject’s development, and as a knowledge base for the next generation of forensic archaeologists. Areas covered include:

Search logistics, integration and specialist search scenarios
Levels of confidence in site search and elimination
Urban and rural landscape reconstruction in both short and long term cases
The integration of cadaver dogs and earth-moving machinery
The recovery of multiple evidence types
Sampling strategies, spatial relevance and dating
Multiple burial scenarios
