A review of experimental design in forensic taphonomy: moving towards forensic realism [PDF]

Forensic Sciences Research, 2020
Forensic taphonomy as a discipline requires standardization to satisfy Daubert criteria for scientific data to be admissible in court. In response, there has been a shift towards quantification of methodology and estimating the postmortem interval ...

Forensic Archaeology and Forensic Taphonomy: Basic Considerations on how to Properly Process and Interpret the Outdoor Forensic Scene [PDF]

Academic Forensic Pathology, 2016
Medicolegal death investigation requires a multidisciplinary approach to the collection of data from the crime scene to the autopsy table. Law enforcement processing of the indoor crime scene works extremely well for documenting evidence and producing reconstructions of past events.

A synthesis of carcass decomposition studies conducted at a tropical (Aw) taphonomy facility: 2013–2022 [PDF]

Forensic Science International: Synergy, 2023
Decomposition studies have been conducted in several regions of the world, but relatively few have investigated taphonomy in tropical environments. Even fewer have explored carcass decomposition during multiple tropical seasons, leaving the relationships

Microbiome modelling for post-mortem interval estimation across species and climates: swine analogues in a British summer and external validation in human donors from the USA [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Background Microbial clocks have shown high accuracy in estimating time since death, or post-mortem interval (PMI), across diverse contexts, including controlled laboratory settings, outdoor environments, and both human cadavers and animal models ...

Tramadol modulates Lucilia sericata development: clinical larval therapy and forensic insights [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Entomotoxicology can inform both forensic reconstructions and clinical larval therapy, yet the consequences of patient-level drug exposure on therapeutic flies remain unexplored.

Forensic taphonomy of mass graves [PDF]

Medicinski Podmladak
The archaeological context in mass graves, especially secondary ones (moved from the primary location), is much more complex due to the high fragmentation of the body.

Postmortem submergence interval (PMSI) and human decomposition in anthropogenically constructed aqueous environments (pools, bathtubs, hot tubs, and spas). [PDF]

J Forensic Sci
Abstract Postmortem decomposition changes of bodies in aquatic environments may offer valuable insights into the postmortem submergence interval (PMSI) for medicolegal death investigators. However, the effects of immersion on the onset of such changes are poorly understood.

Determining the utility of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for disaster victim identification (DVI). [PDF]

J Forensic Sci
Abstract Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology was evaluated as a method for electronically tracking human remains and associated identifying information during mass fatality incidents. Conventional tags are prone to physical damage and failure, which can compromise identification processes and hinder the repatriation of bodies.
