Abstract

Forensic archaeology can be described as an application of archaeological methods to forensic practice. Archaeology is a discipline that interprets the past; therefore, it is not common practice to use archaeology and archaeological meth ods in police or forensic investigation. In Slovakia, archaeologists are called to attend the body scene of skeletonized remains in some regions only rarely and that can often lead to the destruction of historical heritage or desecration of human remains. Such handling of human remains is visible on the case report discussed in the article, where unknown culprits disposed human remains from their original unknown place. Forensic archaeology is commonly used in such cases in the United Kingdom, where it is also commonly taught as a separate discipline in universities. The establish ment of the field of forensic medicine or training proper authorities dealing with these cases is indeed needed in Slova kia to prevent further destruction of historically important remains and sites.

法医考古学——它应该成为一件事吗?案例研究
法医考古学可以被描述为考古学方法在法医实践中的应用。考古学是一门解释过去的学科;因此,在警察或法医调查中使用考古学和考古学方法并不常见。在斯洛伐克,考古学家在一些地区很少被要求参加骨骼遗骸的尸体现场,这往往会导致历史遗产的破坏或人类遗骸的亵渎。这种对人类遗骸的处理在文章中讨论的案件报告中是可见的,在那里,未知的罪犯将人类遗骸从原来未知的地方处理掉。在英国,法医考古学通常用于此类案件,在那里,它也通常作为大学的一门独立学科教授。斯洛伐克确实需要建立法医领域或培训处理这些案件的适当当局,以防止进一步破坏具有重要历史意义的遗迹和遗址。
