ABSTRACT

It’s often a mistake to accept something as true, merely because it is obvious.

The truth is only arrived at by the painstaking process of eliminating the untrue.

Sherlock Holmes, “Dressed to Kill” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

“Forensics” is a science of interest to the legal system. The retracement surveyor, through the application of a number of sciences, obviously falls under this definition in undertaking the duty of following an ancient, or even merely an older, boundary or survey line.
