Australian Federal Police! Canberra! Australia! in Australian Journal of Forensic Science! June 2009 Informationen zum Autor Mark Tibbett, David O. Carter Klappentext Soil Analysis in Forensic Taphonomy: Chemical and Biological Effects of Buried Human Remains is the first book to focus on the impact of soil and its components on the postmortem fate of human remains. International in scope, the chapters deal with both inorganic and organic chemistry, and also biological soil components, including invertebrate activity, fungi, and microbes. The chapters address rates and processes of decomposition, time of death estimates, and methodologies for measuring and analyzing processes. It provides methods for characterizing and fingerprinting soils and offers an introduction to the nature, distribution, and origin of soil materials in forensic comparison of soils. It also includes a chapter on the decomposition of hair. Zusammenfassung Focuses on the impact of soil and its components on the fate of human remains.
