Despite the triumphal march of economic globalization, whose main characteristic is trade liberalization, countries and supranational integration formations have not abandoned, but improved the regulatory effects on international trade. The most decisive in the conduct of protectionist policy has been, in no small part, to continue to be the leaders of economic and technological dynamism - the USA, Japan and the European Community. The paper discusses the basic measures that protectionism is applied in practice: import licensing arrangements; duties with higher rates; import quotas; MIPs; minimum duties; additional duties and / or import taxes; import bans; dumping and countervailing duties. Conclusion, that contemporary forms and manifestations of these traditional instruments to mitigate foreign goods competition in favor of taking local farms are united in a common term “neoprotectionism”, has been reached.

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.
