If body parts are buried shortly after exposure to freezing temperatures, the altered microenvironment may delay or trigger their decomposition. Using Sus scrofa as a human analogue, this study investigated the role of ambient temperature in the decomposition of frozen buried remains.

Bacterial Detectives: Investigating fabric presence and type on grave soil necrobiome dynamics [PDF]
The unique and ubiquitous nature of the microbiome has garnered interest for forensic applications such as: geolocation, bodily fluid and personal item identification. Upon death the successional necrobiome can provide considerable insights. Measurement

Whilst previous contributions have mainly focused on the forensic aspects of investigating mass graves, this study presents a microbial technique for interpreting the postmortem history of buried remains. The case study model is the first in a series of taphonomic reconstructions that focus on the role of bacteria in the decay of detached body parts ...
