Forensic Archaeology: A Global Perspective. 1a edition, Wiley-Blackwell, 2015. 618 p.

Abstract

The book Forensic Archaeology: A Global Perspective offers the first truly comprehensive global overview of forensic archaeology, demonstrating how the discipline adapts to diverse legal, historical, and institutional frameworks. The editors convene insights from over fifty countries, exposing stark contrasts between highly structured models, such as the European framework, and realities shaped by violence and state absence, as seen in Latin America. The book proposes a unified theoretical framework and positions Brazil as a relevant case study within the tropical context. It constitutes an essential reference for understanding the global practice of forensic archaeology.
