Vibrational spectroscopic techniques are applied to the osteometric study of burned human skeletal remains.
The analysis of burned remains is a highly complex process, and better insight can be gained with advanced technologies. main goal this paper to apply X-ray diffraction, partially supported by infrared attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy determine changes in human bones teeth terms mineral phase transformations. Samples 36 12 were heated at 1050°C afterwards subjected XRD ATR-IR. crystallinity index was calculated for every sample. A quantitative evaluation phases documented using the...
Abstract Objectives The analysis of burned human remains can be very challenging due to heat‐induced alterations. Occasionally, bones present these coupled with diagenetic changes, offering even more a challenge, since there is lack studies regarding interactions between both taphonomic phenomena. With this study, we aimed assess and document the effects inhumation on chemical composition unburned skeletal remains. Materials Methods We buried, for 5 years, four groups bone samples comprising...
