Forensic archaeological investigations include not only the search for cadavers in the broad sense but also investigations relating to the destruction or damage of archaeological sites and monuments, illegal excavations (terrestrial and underwater) and looting of artefacts, assessing the financial and archaeological damage caused in order to examine the possibilities of identifying those responsible for the damage; investigations to help establish the provenance of antiquities that may have been illegally acquired or falsified.
