Abstract

Abstract This article presents a brief overview of the development of forensic archaeology in Lithuania. From the beginning of the early 1960s, the disciplines of forensic osteology and anthropology have been intensively developed through extensive work on numerous mass graves left in Lithuania after wars and other social disasters. This has allowed individual researchers and their teams to develop and validate a set of original, population-specific forensic osteological methods. Nevertheless, the term forensic archeology is still new in Lithuania. Only over the last few years has a short program of forensic archeology been offered to students of archaeology. The potential application of forensic archaeology in solving legal issues still lacks the interest of law enforcement and governmental institutions. We want to emphasize the importance of close collaboration between different institutions and an interdisciplinary approach to these investigations as a core value in achieving final goals. In addition, the particular importance of international cooperation to properly commemorate the victims of wars is emphasized.
立陶宛法医考古学的发展与历史人物的鉴定
摘要本文简要介绍了立陶宛法医考古的发展概况。从20世纪60年代初开始,通过对立陶宛战争和其他社会灾难后留下的大量乱葬坑的广泛研究,法医骨学和人类学学科得到了深入发展。这使得个别研究人员和他们的团队能够开发和验证一套原始的、针对特定人群的法医骨学方法。然而,在立陶宛,“法医考古学”一词仍然是一个新词。直到最近几年,才为考古学的学生开设了一个短期的法医考古学课程。法医考古学在解决法律问题上的潜在应用还缺乏执法部门和政府机构的兴趣。我们希望强调不同机构之间密切合作的重要性,并将跨学科方法作为实现最终目标的核心价值。此外,还强调了国际合作以适当纪念战争受害者的特别重要性。
