Archaeology is a discipline that interprets the past; therefore, it is not common practice to use archaeology and archaeological methods in police or forensic investigation. In Slovakia, archaeologists are called to attend the body scene of skeletonized remains in some regions only rarely and that can often lead to the destruction of historical heritage or desecration of human remains. Such handling of human remains is visible on the case report discussed in the article, where unknown culprits disposed human remains from their original unknown place. Forensic archaeology is commonly used in such cases in the United Kingdom, where it is also commonly taught as a separate discipline in universities. The establishment of the field of forensic medicine or training proper authorities dealing with these cases is indeed needed in Slovakia to prevent further destruction of historically important remains and sites.
