What could possibly be 'forensic'about *archaeology*? Who could ever be
prosecuted??

When you find a burial site, you don't necessarily know how old it is,
and whether it is for the police or the historians. So police will
sometimes need the help of a trained archaeologist to analyse the
finds. particularly in investigations of genocide for the
international criminal court, when old mass graves had to be
examined, but also in civil litigation: If you have a boundary
dispute, archaeologists can find olf fence lines etc to determine
where boundaries used to be in the past.

What we did in the class was to look at murders that are indeed too
old to be prosecuted - We looked at Oetzi. But the methods remain the
same.
