"… [T]his volume is indeed comprehensive. The Editors should be congratulated on an excellent book, which should be on the bookshelf of any serious practitioner and library. The Editors state that the ‘methodologies summarized in this volume are state of the art but hardly the last word.’ However, this book should remain highly relevant for many years to come. Highly recommended!"" - James Robertson, Australian Journal of Forensic Sciences, review of the first edition"This superb volume brings together contributions from practicing professionals in Australia, Canada, France, Great Britain, Guatemala, Indonesia, Italy, Spain, and the United States. … For those individuals considering specializing in forensic anthropology, or applying their archaeological skills in the search, documentation, and recovery of human remains and evidence derived from non-archaeological contexts, this book inserts a large dose of reality into what it means to be an anthropologist first and a forensic anthropologist second." - Leslie E. Eisenberg, Journal of Forensic Sciences, review of the first edition
