"An essential reference for both forensic experts and nonexperts alike, Forensic Recovery of Human Remains: Archaeological Approaches is a comprehensive guide that focuses on the practical aspects of excavating and recovering human remains, along with any associated evidence, from crime scenes. It highlights the protocols and techniques used to successfully survey, map, recover, document, collect, and transport such items from these locations."
