The Investigation
The Investigator is despatched to a provincial town to find out the truth behind a disturbing spate of suicides amongst employees of The Firm.But from the moment he steps off the train, he finds himself in a world that is alien, unrecognisable, and diabolically complex.From the hostile weather and the fickle hospitality at Hotel Hope to the town's bewildering inhabitants, everything seems to be against him to the point where he wonders whether he is trapped in a recurring nightmare, or has passed into the realm of death itself.Cold, hungry and humiliated, and always one step behind, he nevertheless remains determined to find the only man he can hold to account - The Firm's legendary but elusive founder.The Investigation is an enthralling fable in which our own world is turned on its head, and where the only answers are more questions.Philippe Claudel - author of Brodeck's Report and Monsieur Linh and His Child - is one of Europe's most daring and versatile novelists.

Archaeological Investigation
The thoroughly updated second edition of Archaeological Investigation reviews and explains the practices of field archaeology in the world today.Now co-authored by Madeleine Hummler, the book’s scope has been enlarged in time and space, reaching out to the different methods and strategies applied in both the academic and commercial sectors in diverse terrain on land and under the sea. Archaeological Investigation accompanies the reader on a journey from absolute beginner to professional.Part 1 (Principles) sets the scene for newcomers, showing the axial role of fieldwork in rediscovering the past.Part 2 (In the Field) is aimed at those setting out to collect primary data by the diverse methods of modern survey and excavation.Word pictures on "First day in the field" and "First day on a dig" provide friendly introductions to the high-tech enterprise that fieldwork has become.Now fully engaged in the process, newcomers to archaeology are ready, in Part 3 (Writing Up), to take part in the process of making the discoveries known.Here the findings of fieldwork are marshalled to analyse the assemblage, the use of space and the chronology of what happened.The results are then combined in a synthesis and communicated through websites, museums, the display of sites and above all through publication.Part 4 (Design) engages the reader in archaeology’s primary action: how to design projects that conserve, rediscover and explain the human past, beginning with a review of some landmark examples (Chapter 13).The final chapter (The Profession) reviews the role of the state, the academy, the commercial sector and the public in making archaeology happen – and why it matters. Building on the authors’ extensive experience, Archaeological Investigation remains an inspiring, provocative, informative and entertaining book for students and professionals, arguing that the investigation of the human and environmental past is highly relevant to contemporary society and its future.

What are investigation methods?
Investigation methods are the techniques and procedures used to gather information, evidence, and data in order to uncover the truth about a particular situation or event. These methods can include interviews, surveillance, forensic analysis, data collection and analysis, and research. Investigators use these methods to systematically gather and analyze information in order to solve a problem, answer a question, or resolve a dispute. The goal of investigation methods is to gather accurate and reliable information that can be used to make informed decisions or take appropriate action.
-
"Is the investigation being dropped?"
The investigation is not being dropped. The authorities are continuing to pursue the investigation and gather evidence in order to bring the case to a resolution. They are committed to thoroughly investigating the matter and ensuring that justice is served.
-
What is the investigation procedure?
The investigation procedure involves gathering information, analyzing evidence, and drawing conclusions to determine the facts of a particular situation. It typically begins with identifying the issue or incident that needs to be investigated, followed by collecting relevant data and interviewing witnesses. The next step is to analyze the information gathered to identify patterns or inconsistencies. Finally, a report is usually prepared outlining the findings and any recommendations for further action.
-
Why are investigation procedures stored?
Investigation procedures are stored to ensure consistency and accuracy in the investigation process. By documenting procedures, organizations can establish clear guidelines for conducting investigations, which helps to maintain transparency and accountability. Storing investigation procedures also allows for easy reference and training of new staff members, ensuring that investigations are conducted in a thorough and efficient manner. Additionally, having documented procedures can be beneficial in the event of legal challenges or audits, as it provides evidence that investigations were conducted in accordance with established protocols.

Investigation/Design
While the overhaul of higher education linked to the Bologna process encouraged the development of design research in art schools, this interest pre-existed in design agencies which were quick to produce surveys in various forms. In this essay, Nicolas Nova synthesises the main specificities of this type of approach and demonstrates how it escapes the academic canon. Indeed, design research is an expanding field, which produces knowledge in a wide variety of forms: texts, drawings, prototypes, interfaces, etc.The author analyses the format of the survey as being at the centre of many approaches to design research – a survey that draws on the methods of social sciences and journalism, but is not confined to the disciplinary framework, gathering and re-appropriating notions from a wide range of fields. More than by a single method, it is by questions relating to specifically invented processes, devices and tools that these surveys in design set themselves apart from those in the social sciences. Thus,this research is often based on the creation of material objects, likely to shed light on phenomena, of which the author presents a series of recent and original examples.Nicolas Nova considers that these approaches to design research radiate beyond their chosen field. Indeed, they influence the “creative social sciences”, which seek to broaden their range of research and restitution processes and open the way to research in contemporary art, which is also in a booming phase.
