Archaeological excavation has been widely used in the recovery of human remains and other evidence in the service of legal cases for many years. However, established approaches will in future be subject to closer scrutiny following the announcement by the Law Commission in 2011 that expert evidence will in future be subject to a new reliability-based admissibility test in criminal proceedings. This book evaluates current archaeological excavation methods and recording systems ? focusing on those used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australasia, and North America ? in relation to their use in providing forensic evidence, and their ability to satisfy the admissibility tests introduced by the Law Commission, and other internationally recognised bodies. 00In order to achieve this aim, two analyses were undertaken. First, attention was directed to understanding the origins, development, underpinning philosophies, and current use of archaeological excavation methods and recording systems in the regions selected for study. A total of 153 archaeological manuals/guidelines were examined from archaeological organisations operating in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand--

Bien qu'elle en trouve parfois, l'archéologie n'a pas vocation à chercher de chefs-d'œuvre : elle exhume et interprète les indices que recèle le sol pour connaître les sociétés humaines du passé. Mais la recherche ne s'arrête pas à la fouille et se prolonge par un intense travail de laboratoire. Ainsi l'archéologie recourt-elle de longue date aux outils des géosciences, des sciences de la vie, des sciences environnementales, des sciences chimiques et physiques pour interpréter les éléments les plus ténus. Ces disciplines connaissent un développement continu pour analyser, dater, imager ou restituer les données sur les sociétés, les environnements du passé et leurs interactions. Cet ouvrage fait le point sur leurs dernières avancées. Des scientifiques confirmés et de jeunes chercheurs présentent des travaux novateurs : sans entrer dans la technicité des méthodes, ils montrent comment la connaissance du passé, à partir des traces les plus infimes, est renouvelée par l'apport de ces nouvelles disciplines.

This book focuses on the relationship between the disciplines of archaeology and anthropology. Both disciplines arose from a common project: a desire to understand human social and cultural diversity. However, in recent years, archaeology's interest in anthropology has remained largely unreciprocated. To date, the causes and consequences of this imbalance have received little attention, particularly within anthropology. Including papers by eminent thinkers within both disciplines, this book sheds new light on issues of disciplinary identity. The contributors show how a lack of collaboration has

"Over the last 10 years, interest in the disciplines of forensic anthropology and archaeology has exploded. In order to provide archaeologists and their students with a reliable understanding of these disciplines, this authoritative volume draws contributions from fifty experienced practitioners from around the world to offer a solid foundation in both the practical and ethical components of forensic work. Over 40 chapters weave together historical development, current field methods in analyzing crime, natural disasters and human atrocities, an array of laboratory techniques, key case studies, legal, professional, and ethical issues, and promising future directions, all from a global perspective. This volume will be the benchmark for the understanding of anthropological and archaeological forensics for years to come. This Handbook is sponsored by World Archaeological Congress"-- "With contributions from 70 experienced practitioners from around the world, this second edition of the authoritative Handbook of Forensic Archaeology and Anthropology provides a solid foundation in both the practical and ethical components of forensic work. The book weaves together the discipline's historical development; current field methods for analyzing crime, natural disasters, and human atrocities; an array of laboratory techniques; key case studies involving legal, professional, and ethical issues; and ideas about the future of forensic work--all from a global perspective. This fully revised second edition -provides an updated perspective of the disciplines of forensic archaeology and anthropology; -expands the geographic representation of the first edition by including chapters from practitioners in South Africa and Colombia; -adds exciting new chapters on the International Commission on Missing Persons and on forensic work being done to identify victims of the Battle of Fromelles during World War I"--
