Estimating the postmortem interval: applications of forensic acarology, palynology, and taphonomy
Forensic Science, Medicine, and PathologyDetermination of the minimum postmortem interval remains an important factor in the investigation of deaths, especially homicides. It is important for near-accurate reconstruction of the fatal event, especially after putrefaction has commenced. It helps to weigh the alibi of suspects, and to include or exclude these individuals. The science of forensic

Pig Tales Forensic Taphonomy in Cozine Creek
2019The medicolegal community relies heavily upon determining the postmortem interval (PMI), the knowledge of how much time has elapsed since the person has died. Forensic taphonomy is the study of postmortem changes caused by outdoor environmental conditions that play a crucial role in decomposition rates. These include local temperatures, humidity, soil,

Research in Forensic Taphonomy: A Soil-Based Perspective
2008Forensic taphonomy is the use of processes associated with cadaver decomposition in the investigation of crime. For example, these processes have been used to estimate post-mortem interval, estimate post-burial interval and locate clandestine graves. In recent years, significant advances have provided a better understanding of cadaver decomposition and

Forensic taphonomy: Vertebrate scavenging in the temperate southwestern Cape, South Africa
Forensic Science International, 2018Vertebrate scavenging can significantly accelerate the rate of decomposition, which can hinder estimating the post-mortem interval (PMI). Patterns of decomposition and scavenging are highly specific to different environments in a forensic context, with no known data for South Africa.

The Scope of Taphonomy in Forensic Anthropological Case Reports
Forensic AnthropologyForensic taphonomy plays a vital role in forensic anthropological research and casework, aiding in the reconstruction of perimortem and postmortem events at forensic scenes. Standard guidelines have been published by forensic standards bodies; however, there is considerable variety in the ways in which taphonomic interpretations are incorporated into ...
