Course description

This course explores the place of archaeological techniques of search, recovery and analysis within a forensic (pertaining to the law) context. An introduction to human skeletal analysis, searching, trace evidence, DNA and forensic testing, the criminal justice system, and the archaeology of human death are provided. For ethical reasons this course is taught using high quality model human bones, rather than real human remains. For the information of students of Australian Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent, no ancestral remains will be handled in this course
