TY - JOUR PY - 1976// TI - Forensic archaeology JO - Journal of forensic sciences A1 - Morse, D. A1 - Crusoe, D. A1 - Smith, H. G. SP - 323 EP - 332 VL - 21 IS - 2 N2 - This presentation attempts to demonstrate the value of the use of improved methods in the excavation of buried bodies involved in a criminal investigation. Care in the removal of the skeleton and proper recording will document the interrelationship of all objects found in and around the grave and can, to a certain extent, recreate the event. Carelessness will result in evidence being irretrievably lost. The crime scene investigator's problem, arachaeologically, includes the nature of the remains, dating the time of burial, and techniques of excavation. Archaeological recovery techniques should be adopted in homicide investigation involving buried bodies.
