As an anthropology student -- turned contract archaeologist -- turned law enforcement officer, crime scene investigator, and instructor, I can appreciate Melissa Connor's Forensic Methods: Excavation for the Archaeologist and Criminal Investigator from a variety of perspectives. Its unique strength is the manner in which it introduces the archaeologist to criminal investigation and the law enforcement officer to archaeology -- critical, but often overlooked preludes which impact the processing of buried evidence scenes as well as the reconstruction of the events which created them . Readers ranging from anthropology students to seasoned criminal investigators will find this book a welcome resource toward understanding each other's perspectives of the crime scene environment.--Mike Hochrein
