Archaeologists & Forensic Dogs
All over the world from, San Diego
In this San Diego Archaeological Center lecture, archaeologist Natalie Brodie will discuss current efforts to recover previously cremated human remains following massive wild fires. Volunteer archaeologists have been paired with trained forensic dogs and handlers to search for the cremated remains of loved ones in the aftermath, providing some hope and healing to those who thought their family members were lost. Ms. Brodie will discuss the process used by the archaeologists, the remarkable results of the effort, and the value of the archaeological process for remains recovery. Note: this presentation will show photographs of cremated human remains. Pay what you wish
