Helping the Police with Their Enquiries (1990x5)

: 19, 1990

Looks at the co-operation in America between the police and archaeologists in homicide cases where a body is found, the skills of the archaeologist being particularly relevant for digging up bodies, studying fragments of bone and decomposed bodies, and dating them. It reveals the techniques that they use, and also looks at the West Yorkshire Police's use of archaeologists as well.
