Archaeologists Join Police To Help Fight Crime
An anonymous reader writes "Forensic experts and archaeologists have teamed up in the UK to unearth secrets
of the past in the fight to trap today's criminals. Scientists
will be teaming up with archaeologists to exchange skills, experience and
techniques in what is to be a pioneering partnership."
A new breed of super crime fighting archeaologists with buggywhips and leather hats. Now all they need is a cool theme song.
For every annoying gentoo user, are three even more annoying anti-gentoo crybabies. Take Yosh from #Gimp for example.
The "police" and "forensic experts" are not the same thing. The police help to maintin order, to protect, to serve, etc. Forensic experts work mainly in the laboratory and in the crime scene. It was just a bit misleading reading that the police and scientists are going to work together.
A blog like any other.
Not directly, but perhaps from objects they have touched, such as clay, make-up, and anything else which can maintain an impression over time.

And what are archaeologists? Laymen?
Jesus saves, everyone else takes full damage from the fireball.
archaeologists have been used for the biggest serial murder case in Canadian history already. Over 70 women are believed to have been killed, probably by the man who's been charged with 15 of the deaths.
" notice you didn't cite any of these major papers by this super-genius archeologist of yours"
He's found the Lost Ark, the Holy Grail, Thor's Hammer, and even the One Ring. But those dratted nazis, Belloc, and the customs officials keep confiscating the results of his explorations. You'll have to take our word on it.
Also, not only does this guy do field archaeology and teach at a community college, he also talks for an hour or so each night on the "Art Bell" show about the dangers of isotropic money which has been inserted into the cash flow by space aliens.
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
...the archaeologists get PBA cards, yellow flashing lights for their vehicles, and all the jelly donuts they can eat!
"Forensic experts and archaeologists have teamed up in the UK to unearth secrets of the past in the fight to trap today's criminals."
Well the two degrees are pretty much the same. Forensic Experts are usually Forensic Anthropolgist...and Archeology is a Anthropological Degree also.
I don't see why this is so groundbreaking, Forensic Anthropologist have been teaming up with Archaeologist for years...Thats one of the jobs they can do if they decide not to work for law enforcement.
Or maybe I'm just missing the point of this post all together.
