The goal of this five-day short course is to familiarize participants with current methods employed during the recovery of victims from mass fatality scenes, including plane crashes. Focus will be on search techniques and evidence documentation protocols that result in efficient, effective, and timely mass fatality scene recovery operations. Following classroom training, students will participate in the recovery of a mock plane crash. Experience will be gained in using electronic total station, survey-grade GPS, basics of GIS, and in forensic archaeological recoveries.
This five-day course will introduce participants to the principles and methodologies of Forensic Archaeology. Lectures and mock outdoor crime scenes will be used to describe state-of-the-art methods available to investigators during the documentation and recovery of physical evidence, including human remains, from a variety of outdoor contexts, including surface scattered sites and buried body features.

Death Scene Archaeology: Field Methods in the Location, Recovery
& Interpretation of Human Remains from Outdoor Contexts
Documentation of the Mass Fatality Scene:
Plane Crash
The goal of this five-day short course is to familiarize students and professionals with current analytical methods in the interpretation of bone trauma. Focus will be on the differentiation of ante-, peri-, and postmortem trauma to bone, beginning with recognition and preliminary interpretation at autopsy through biomechanical interpretations in the laboratory. Detailed lectures and presentations will be supplemented with extensive hands-on opportunities for students with demonstrations, cast specimens, and case-study specimens.
Analysis of Bone Trauma in Suspected Violent Deaths
June 20-24, 2016 ($795)
The goal of this five-day short course is to familiarize students and professionals with the identification of fragmentary human skeletal remains frequently encountered in Biological, Bioarchaeological, and Forensic Anthropological contexts. Emphasis will be placed on identifying and siding fragmentary human bone, differentiating human from non-human bone, recognizing sub-adult remains, and understanding the basics of bone biology. Participants will be introduced to normal human variation as well as taphonomic and pathological changes. The course involves extensive hands-on opportunities with thousands of real bone fragments, supplemented by detailed lectures, presentations, and actual forensic case studies.
June 13-17, 2016 ($795)
Fragmentary Human Osteology
This five day short course is designed for individuals who have taken the Mercyhurst Death Scene Archaeology course or who have significant experience dealing with outdoor forensic scenes. Participants will process two realistic outdoor scenarios that include a surface scatter and a buried body feature and will then prepare professional reports for each scene. Benefits of a forensic taphonomic perspective to the collection and interpretation of evidence at these scenes will be emphasized.
