Decomposition rates and taphonomic changes associated with the estimation of time since death in a summer climate : a case study from urban Nova Scotia

Brown, Courtney R. S. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2010)

Estimating time since death has an integral role in missing persons and found human remains cases; therefore it is necessary to understand decomposition rates and taphonomic changes for the environment in which a body is ...
Taphonomic patterns : can the effects of brush fire mimic the natural decomposition of heavy muscle markers on the surface of bone?

Fernandes, Tricia (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2011)

The goals of this study included: (1) examining if brush fires were capable of creating unique burn pattern signatures at specific stages of decomposition and (2) determining if mimicry of colour and taphonomic processes ...
