Abstract:
|
Forensic archaeology has been of inestimable help in the location and excavation of clandestine burials (Hunter 1996a:16-17,
1996b; Killam 2004; Levine et al. 1984). Landscape archaeology techniques have been adapted and widely applied for such
purposes. In this article, an adaptation of one of the most common applications of archaeological GIS, that is predictive site
location, is applied to the detection of body dump sites and clandestine burial sites, bringing together in the process the fields
of landscape archaeology, forensic sciences, and GIS. |
