In this field school, Indiana Jones meets Gil Grissom. Learn what real forensic archaeologists and anthropologists do to assist law enforcement officers in solving crimes. Archaeological techniques can be used in forensic science in outdoor scenes and buried body cases. Participants will learn about forensic archaeology not only in lectures but use proper techniques to excavate a mock homicide victim, prepare a report, and learn to present evidence in a moot court.
