Synopsis
The twentieth century saw the unlawful killing of approximately 200 million civilians. Sadly, the conflicts and tensions that gave rise to these deaths continue into the twenty-first century and the task of those involved in investigating mass murder, war crimes and genocide is larger than ever. Forensic Archaeology, Anthropology and the Investigation of Mass Graves provides clear theory and practice for investigators in training, and aims to establish best practice by forensic practitioners. Offering detailed advice on locating and excavating graves, the analysis of human remains, and the surrounding social, political and legal contexts, this book is both a unique and important reference.
