  We develop a matrix element based reconstruction method called event
deconstruction. The method uses information from the hard matrix element and a
parton shower to assign probabilities to whether a final state was initiated by
a signal or background process. We apply this method in the signal process of a
Z' decaying to boosted top quarks in an all hadronic final state and discuss
envisioned improvements of the method. We find that event deconstruction can
considerably improve on existing reconstruction techniques.
