One of the biggest struggles of biological anthropology is to estimate the biological profile
from burned human skeletal remains. Bioanthropological methods are seriously …

Complementary vibrational spectroscopic techniques–infrared, Raman and inelastic neutron
scattering (INS)–were applied to the study of human bone burned under controlled …

Burned skeletal remains are abundant in archaeological and paleontological sites, the result
of fire or of ancient funerary practices. In the burning process, the bone matrix suffers …

The Analysis of Burned Human Remains, Second Edition, provides a primary source for
osteologists and the medical/legal community for the understanding of burned bone remains …

Vibrational spectroscopic techniques are applied to the osteometric study of burned human
skeletal remains. This is an innovative way of tackling heat-induced changes in human bone …

Is it possible to determine low‐temperature cooking in archaeological bones? The indirect
exposure of bones to fire at low temperature (≤ 100° C), linked to cooking, produces …

An understanding of heat-induced transformation of hard tissue is vital before a full
interpretation of burned human remains can be successfully achieved. Samples of modern …

In forensic casework, it is vital to be able to obtain valuable information from burnt bone
fragments to ascertain the identity of the victim. Burnt bones show significant alterations both …

This study aims to analyse human bones exposed to low/medium temperatures (200–650°
C) under experimentally controlled conditions, both oxidizing and reducing, using …

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) are thermal
analyses techniques, which can give vital information about a material's properties and …
