Aspects of Forensic Archaeology
Summary:
This paper explores the aspects of Forensic Archaeology. The reader is familiarized with the definitions of terms needed for the thorough exploration of the question. Terms such as archaeology, forensic, forensic archaeology, and field archaeology have been considered. Furthermore, three archaeological techniques are explored in detail, with focus on their origins, equipment and adaptations, when introduced in a forensic context. A discussion on the relationship between the disciplines of forensic archaeology and anthropology is also provided preceding the assessment of the limitations of combining the two disciplines in one person’s career.
