  abstract: A truly interdisciplinary approach to this core subject within Forensic Science. It combines essential theory with practical crime scene work and includes case studies. Applicable to all time periods so has relevance for conventional archaeology, prehistory and anthropology. A truly interdisciplinary approach to this core subject within Forensic Science Combines essential theory with practical crime scene work Includes case studies Applicable to all time periods so has relevance for conventional archaeology, prehistory and anthropology Combines points of view from both established practitioners and young researchers to ensure relevance.
