Forensic Archaelogical Reports

  • Reference Number: 3512
  • Date released: 13 December 2011

Request

I am conducting research into the methodological approaches used by archaeologists during criminal investigations, in order to develop standard operating procedures for forensic archaeologists. To aid my studies, I wish to know whether under the Freedom of Information Act (2000) I would be granted access to any of the forensic archaeological reports that have been submitted to your police force.

Response

In accordance with section 1(1) (a) of the Act our response is provided below;

The Cheshire Constabulary does not have any policies or procedures in place to facilitate access to police information of the type you describe. Therefore in accordance with the requirements of the FOI Act there is no information held.

I can advise that a notable discovery in 1984 of 'Lindow Man', a body found at Lindow End near Wilmslow, Cheshire is now in the possession of the British Museum, please see the following link:
