Building on the success of Forensic Taphonomy: The Postmortem
Fate of Human Remains, Advances in Forensic Taphonomy: Method,
Theory, and Archaeological Perspectives presents new and updated
techniques. It expands the taphonomic focus on biogeographic context
and microenvironments and integrates further the theoretical and
methodological links with archaeology and paleontology.
Emphasizes the contribution and evolving roles of the forensic
anthropologist whose theoretical expertise is in human variation
and postmortem modification of human remains. Covers concepts
and problems specific to mass graves and their connection to war
crimes. Addresses the critical importance of understanding the
microenvironment. Updates field recovery techniques and laboratory
analysis.
