The objective of the article is to present narrative elements of investigative analysis as criminal artefacts. The key concepts of this perspective, such as: criminal artefact, scenario, generalization, evidential reasoning, are characterized. The methods and criteria of constructing scenarios are also presented in accordance with the discussed model. Moreover, the method of inference to the best explanation (so-called IBE) and explanatory evidential theory (so-called EET) are recognized as the basic methods of a criminal case reconstructions analysis. The practical aspects of using these methods are also presented. It was noted that a criminal scenario prepared according to relevant criteria is a good basis to justify person’s decisions in the course of fact-finding. However, as the final decision about the choice of the best scenario belongs to the part of the authority conducting the proceedings, the criminal trial should not be transformed into the trial by mathematics.
