With contributions from 70 experienced practitioners from around the world, this second edition of the authoritative Handbook of Forensic Archaeology and Anthropology provides a solid foundation in both the practical and ethical components of forensic work. The book weaves together the discipline’s historical development; current field methods for analyzing crime, natural disasters, and human atrocities; an array of laboratory techniques; key case studies involving legal, professional, and ethical issues; and ideas about the future of forensic work--all from a global perspective. This fully revised second edition expands the geographic representation of the first edition by including chapters from practitioners in South Africa and Colombia, and adds exciting new chapters on the International Commission on Missing Persons and on forensic work being done to identify victims of the Battle of Fromelles during World War I. The Handbook of Forensic Anthropology and Archaeology provides an updated perspective of the disciplines of forensic archaeology and anthropology.

Owing to their unique state of preservation, mummies provide us with significant historical and scientific knowledge of humankind’s past. This handbook, written by prominent international experts in mummy studies, offers readers a comprehensive guide to new understandings of the field’s most recent trends and developments. It provides invaluable information on the health states and pathologies of historic populations and civilizations, as well as their socio-cultural and religious characteristics. Addressing the developments in mummy studies that have taken place over the past two decades – which have been neglected for as long a time – the authors excavate the ground-breaking research that has transformed scientific and cultural knowledge of our ancient predecessors. The handbook investigates the many new biotechnological tools that are routinely applied in mummy studies, ranging from morphological inspection and endoscopy to minimally invasive radiological techniques that are used to assess states of preservation. It also looks at the paleoparasitological and pathological approaches that have been employed to reconstruct the lifestyles and pathologic conditions of ancient populations, and considers the techniques that have been applied to enhance biomedical knowledge, such as craniofacial reconstruction, chemical analysis, stable isotope analysis and ancient DNA analysis. This interdisciplinary handbook will appeal to academics in historical, anthropological, archaeological and biological sciences, and will serve as an indispensable companion to researchers and students interested in worldwide mummy studies.

Uno de los objetivos primordiales en el estudio médico legal es la determinación de las causas y condiciones alrededor de la muerte de un individuo; la realización de una autopsia, sea de tipo anatomoclínica o médico legal, resulta de suma importancia en ese sentido. En este libro hacemos, de manera inicial, un análisis de los aspectos relacionados con la definición, finalidad, equipamiento e instrumental necesarios para la realización de una autopsia; posteriormente, analizamos los aspectos a considerar en el examen externo e interno del cuerpo, haciendo énfasis en los elementos de suma importancia para la determinación de la etiología de la muerte; finalmente, hacemos una revisión de algunos aspectos especializados dentro de la práctica de las autopsias, como la autopsia psicológica, la autopsia virtual y la autopsia molecular en el diagnóstico forense. Los que participamos en la elaboración de esta obra esperamos que resulte de gran utilidad para todos aquellos que deseen profundizar en el estudio anatomoclínico y médico legal del cuerpo de una persona fallecida, como elemento de gran apoyo en el proceso de procuración de justicia.
