Forensic archaeology

Forensic archaeology is the application of archaeological methods and techniques to help solve crimes, often by recovering and analyzing physical evidence from crime scenes. Forensic archaeologists search for and document buried artifacts, human remains, or other materials that can provide information about past events. They work closely with law enforcement to ensure the careful recovery and preservation of evidence, which can be crucial in solving cases, identifying victims, and presenting findings in court. By combining scientific principles with archaeological expertise, they contribute significantly to criminal investigations and legal processes.
