- Illustrates the development of skeletal biological profiles and offers important new evidence on statistical validation of these analytical methods.
- Evaluates the goals and methods of forensic archaeology, including the preservation of context at surface-scattered remains, buried bodies and fatal fire scenes, and recovery and identification issues related to large-scale mass disaster scenes and mass grave excavation.
