This course, taught in partnership with the University of Florida, will allow each student to participate in the search, excavation, and recovery of entomological, botanical, and anthropological evidence from a staged “crime scene.” Mornings will
be spent in topic specific lectures. During afternoon practical sessions, the student will work one scene each day to recover evidence from surface scattered and burial scenes. The workshop will conclude with a student group presentation summarizing the evidence
college during the previous workshop days.
