Continuing Advances in the Analysis of Commingled Remains

This book presents an exploration of the methodologies and theoretical frameworks involved in the analysis of commingled human remains, featuring twelve case studies (plus an introduction and conclusion) that highlight the complexities of these assemblages. Both intentional and unintentional commingling present significant challenges and opportunities within bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology, making this topic increasingly relevant in contemporary research.

Building on previous works, Commingled and Disarticulated Human Remains (2014) and Theoretical Approaches to Analysis and Interpretation of Commingled Human Remains (2016) (both published with Springer), this updated work serves as a critical resource for scholars, offering insights into the application of methodologies and theoretical models explored in earlier volumes. The case studies not only reflect current practices but also project future directions for the analysis of commingled remains over the next decade. This book, like those that came before it on this topic, will be an excellent reference for researchers and practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of the intricacies of commingled remains and their implications in both academic and applied settings.
