The 20th century saw the unlawful killing of approximately 200
million civilians. Sadly, the conflicts and tensions that gave rise
to these deaths continue into the 21st century and the task of
those involved in investigating mass murder, war crimes and
genocide is larger than ever.;"Forensic Archaeology, Anthropology
and the Investigation of Mass Graves" provides clear theory and
practice for investigators in training, and aims to establish best
practice by forensic practitioners. Offering detailed advice on
locating and excavating graves, the analysis of human remains, and
the surrounding social, political and legal contexts - this book,
is a useful reference.

During the First World War, 250 soldiers were buried behind enemy
lines in unmarked mass graves on the outskirts of the village of
Fromelles, Northern France. They were among several thousand
Australian and British soldiers who were killed in the Battle of
Fromelles on the 19th and 20th July 1916, the first action on the
Western Front to involve the Australian Imperial Force. This volume
describes Oxford Archaeology's contribution to a joint Australian
and British government mission, under the management of the
Commonwealth War Graves Commission, to recover the soldiers and
re-bury them with full military honours in a new Commonwealth War
Graves cemetery in Fromelles. Bringing together an international
team of forensic and investigative professionals, Oxford
Archaeology excavated and scientifically examined the remains of
the soldiers and items - remnants of uniforms, insignia, and
poignant mementoes of home, among them a return train ticket and a
heart-shaped leather pouch - buried with them. With the full
support and co-operation of the soldiers' families, this evidence
was employed alongside DNA and historical sources in an attempt to
identify the soldiers by name for their commemoration on
headstones. Since the recovery operation began in 2009, limited
information has been revealed about the project. This volume is the
comprehensive account of the work. Ultimately, however, this is a
story of the soldiers, their bravery and sacrifice. With
contributions by: Alison Anderson, Matt Bradley, Carl Champness,
Ambika Flavel, Wayne Hoban, Peter Jones, Dai Lewis, Tim Loveless,
Paul Murray, Dan Poore, Lucian Pricop, Ian Scott, Mark Viner, James

Meet Helen - a girl with eczema. Helen invites readers to learn
about this skin condition from her perspective, describing how it
feels to have itchy and inflamed skin nearly all the time. She
explains how different creams, ointments and other treatments can
help her skin to feel better and lets readers know about other ways
she can be helped and supported. This illustrated book is ideal for
young people aged 7 upwards, as well as parents, friends, teachers
and nurses. It is also an excellent starting point for family and
classroom discussions.
This book describes the detailed processes and techniques essential
for the scientific investigation of atrocity crimes. It includes
methods for the location, evaluation, excavation, recovery, and
recording of mass graves and the analysis of human remains and
other evidence in order to establish the identity of victims and
the cause and manner of their deaths. This volume establishes
protocols and standard operating procedures to guide standards and
approaches that can be used for both judicial and humanitarian
contexts. The procedures for field and mortuary application are
flexible and can meet specific project aims, constraints, and
contexts. The phases of activity and detailed methodological
approaches set out in this book describe components of a complex
scientific process. Chapters examine the evaluation of possible
sites, scene of crime management, health and safety, key roles,
excavation of graves, forensic sciences, mortuary management,
analysis of human remains, and ante-mortem data collection.

This advanced textbook provides the reader with an up-to-date
account of recent developments and future potential in the study of
human skeletons from both an archaeological and forensic context.
It is well-illustrated, comprehensive in its coverage and is
divided into six sections for ease of reference, encompassing such
areas as palaeodemography, juvenile health and growth, disease and
trauma, normal skeletal variation, biochemical and microscopic
analyses and facial reconstruction. Each chapter is written by a
recognised specialist in the field, and includes in-depth
discussion of the reliability of methods, with appropriate
references, and current and future research directions. It is
essential reading for all students undertaking osteology as part of
their studies and will also prove a valuable reference for forensic
scientists, both in the field and the laboratory.
