xrf Forensic science academics from Staffs University visited this week, undertaking a collaborative forensic geoscience research project.

Recent forensic geophysical surveys undertaken by Dr Jamie Pringle in the local area have allowed exhumations of unmarked burials and the resulting skeletons have shown unusual staining.
