    Area of Science:

    • Forensic Anthropology
    • Archaeology
    • Criminal Investigation

    Background:

    • Criminal investigators require specialized training for identifying human remains.
    • Effective collaboration between law enforcement and forensic anthropologists is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a forensic anthropology course designed for criminal investigators.
    • To integrate physical anthropological and archaeological techniques for investigating buried bodies.

    Main Methods:

    • Modification of archaeological field techniques through experimentation with artificial graves.
    • Experimental recovery of fragile and easily overlooked evidence from simulated burial sites.

    Main Results:

    • The modified techniques ensure the recovery of all possible material for analysis.
