Part II focuses on Forensic Anthropology and Humanitarian Investigations, presenting the study of human remains and the application of forensic archaeology in humanitarian contexts.

Contributions from both EMFA presenters and external experts provide a rich tapestry of theoretical advances and practical applications. This new volume is essential for forensic archaeologists, forensic scientists, law enforcement professionals, and scholars interested in the intersection of archaeology and forensic science. It serves as an important resource for those seeking to understand the complexities of forensic investigations.PPN: PPN: 1926698738Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SBL | ZDB-2-SXB
