La médecine légale, au carrefour de la Médecine, de la Justice et de la Société, est une discipline indispensable. Son champ d'investigation très large, mais également ses limites, sont très méconnus du grand public. L'anthropologie médico-légale, à l'interface de l'anthropologie physique classique et de la médecine légale, est encore plus méconnue, et en pleine évolution. L'anthropologie médico-légale est devenue incontournable dans l'investigation médico-légale des crimes ou des morts suspectes L'anthropologie médico-légale est utilisée lors de la découverte de squelettes, mais également chaque fois qu'un corps médico-légal est altéré par un processus quelconque (par exemple décomposition, momification, carbonisation, mutilations du corps), et de plus en plus sur les prélèvements osseux pratiqués au cours des autopsies classiques. L'anthropologie médico-légale a un double objectif : identification et interprét ation médico-légale des cause(s) et circonstances du décès. Elle amène des éléments complémentaires parfois déterminants dans la compréhension des circonstances du traumatisme (mécanisme, direction, violence). La déposition en Cour d'Assises, dans une affaire où l'anthropologie médico-légale a été utilisée, démontre sa subtilité, sa difficulté, ses certitudes mais également ses incertitudes. Cet ouvrage offre un panorama de l'expertise anthropologique médico-légale de terrain, avec une suite de questions pratiques qui doivent être abordées dans un ordre logique, et résolues avant la déposition en Cour d'Assises. Il ouvre également de nombreuses voies de réflexion et de recherche. L'ouvrage est destiné aux médecins légistes, anthropologues, odontologistes, radiologues, biologistes médico-légaux, et scientifiques de toutes disciplines ; mais également aux magistrats, aux policiers, gendarmes et techniciens de la sce ne de crime.

This volume centers on the application of social theory to commingled remains with special focus on the cultural processes that create the assemblages as a way to better understand issues of meaning, social structure and interaction, and lived experience in the past. The importance of the application of theoretical frameworks to bioarchaeology in general has been recognized, but commingled and fragmentary assemblages require an increased theoretical focus. Too often these assemblages are still relegated to appendices; they are analytical puzzles that need the interpretive power offered by social theory. Theoretical Approaches to Analysis and Interpretation of Commingled Human Remains provides case studies that illustrate how an appropriate theoretical model can be used with commingled and fragmentary remains to add to overall site and population level interpretations of past and present peoples. Specifically, the contributions show a blending and melding of different social theories, highlighting the broad interpretive power of social theory. Contributors are drawn from both the Old and New World. Temporally, time periods from the Neolithic to historic periods are present, further widening the audience for the volume.

The unpredictable, the chaotic, the changeable, have always fascinated the human mind and they have forged the human psyche. They are also present in societies and civilizations since the dawn of human history. But how can we tame such a vast, multidimensional and controversial topic in a single book? Which are the criteria for the selective bibliography, made out of thousands of relevant books, papers, articles, workshops, e-sites and all kind of scientific information? Which disasters should be mentioned, and why? Which aspects of disasters should be analysed, and why? This book focuses on merging all disciplines, perspectives, theories, aspects and applications of disasters in their spatio-temporal framework (archaeodisasters), into one major scientific field (Disaster Archaeology). Short presentations are given, concerning the pioneering trends, the milestones of research, breakthroughs and people whose perspectives changed the way we deal with disasters today. Disaster Archaeology as well as being a science in its own right, is also an outstanding vehicle for learning many of the common principles that unite Science. In fact, this book is a journey and a path. A journey through time and human history since the Hominid lineage appeared on Earth. And a path into the human body, mind, spirit and psyche, and the way they adapt (perceive, react and create) in a constantly mutable world. Disasters (from local minor changes to severe crises, major collapses and tragic catastrophes) are not mere ‘events’ or ‘phenomena’. They are ‘elements’ and ‘processes’ of the Cosmos. They are expressions of cosmic energy, both in the Universe and in human societies. They embrace information and vibration; they transform, rearrange and forge. They are the vital forces of the Cosmos, since they are considered both as triggering mechanisms and as results of energy flow. An amazing journey, an amazing path...
