Purpose: The main goal of this article is to raise awareness about how forensic archeology and anthropology can be used to improve the outcome of cases in the advocacy for human rights.

A way to do that is to provide the deceased with appropriate burials, as well as to provide their families with enough knowledge

and argon dating are the most effective and wide spread methods for dating human biological remains to provide a detailed analysis of antiquity. Radiocarbon dating is the most widespread and commonly used technique for dating human remains in archeology. It is known that all living things contain carbon and upon death carbon breaks down at a specific and steady rate once. By

talk, if you listen close enough and have the right education. Forensic Anthropology is the study of “talking” bones or more properly as told by Burns (2013), “the discipline that applies the scientific knowledge of physical anthropology (and often archeology) to the collection and analysis of legal evidence” (p.3). This discipline brings together the fields of physical anthropology, biology, and many other physical sciences to allow for the proper identification of mostly human remains. The basis

Viking presence during the period between the 8th and 15th centuries is widely accepted among Scottish historians, but the exact impact on the region has been strongly debated by scholars because of the lack of archeological evidence of Norse settlements.

Photogrammetry is non-intrusive, cost-effective, is ideal for recording data of a complex nature, has high level of achievable accuracy, uses digital data which

As the human race advances more towards the future, we are able to discover more about our past and better preserve our people and culture. Multiple technological advances allow different researchers and explorers to excavate our past and predict the environmental future. The different types of technology include an underwater "mailbox system", Dropsonde Hurricane Sensors, and the Light Detection and Ranging technique (LIDAR). In addition, the most advanced technology these "hunters" have access
