Historic Archaeologists are more and more frequently asked to assist law enforcement in recovery of human remains.

Grave location techniques
Forensic excavation techniques
Grave taphonomy
Writing a forensic report
Biohazard issues in working with fresh or decomposing bodies
Chain of evidence
Expert witness testimony in both Frye and Daubert states
