This chapter attempts a reconstruction of the current attitude of Romanian academic institutions, archaeologists and the general public towards the role of forensic archaeology (and forensic anthropology) in the legal forensic framework, and in archaeological fieldwork. It discusses whether this science has actually reached Romania, and, if not, analyses the reasons by suggesting future actions to be taken. The IICCR intended to carry out a forensic archaeological excavation at the Sighet penitentiary in order to recover and identify the remains of political convicts whose bodies had been apparently scattered among those of the orphans and other individuals in the Cemetery of the Poor. The archaeological excavation was carefully and systematically conducted in order to allow the recording of spatial and quantitative information. Historical and demographic information could be recovered in larger amounts if forensic techniques were applied in archaeological contexts.
