A multidisciplinary approach to the investigation of crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide: the Inforce Foundation.

Socio-political context A detailed examination of the socio-political context of the development and expansion of forensic anthropology and archaeology is outside the aim of this paper. For a more detailed consideration of this subject see Cox [I]. That paper considers why so many UK-based anthropologists and archaeologists seek to extend the traditional parameters of their subject beyond the archaeological context into that of investigating serious domestic and international crime. In short, our divergence reflects that we share concerns and preconceptions common to all [2 ] . As the world order changes around us, and violations of human rights become common knowledge we respond (e.g. the foundation of 'Archaeologists for Human Rights' www.afhr.org/).
