Geoscientific Equipment and Techniques at Crime Scenes

This follow-on meeting (from 2006 or from Archaeological geophysics?), aims to capture shared interests between the archaeological, geological, environmental, humanitarian and law enforcement communities, will follow a macro- to microscale organisation.

Sessions will include both merging and current cutting-edge geoscientific techniques to aid the forensic investigator and will include geophysics, aerial, satellite and landscape interpretation, buried materials, trace evidence and innovations in materials analysis.

On the 16th December (2008) the bi-annual ‘Recent Work in Archaeological Geophysics (convenor: Paul Linford – English Heritage) will take place, allowing those with shared interests to stay for some or all of the proceedings on the 17th. Likewise, a meeting of the Geochemistry Group of the Geological Society will take place, allowing those with shared interests to stay on for this day. All meetings are in Burlington House.

Expressions of interest (please state if you wish to attend, present a talk or poster, or display equipment) can be sent to either convenor. A second advertisement will follow.
