Abstract/Description

Sheridan Austad, a student of forensic anthropology, explores the effects of fire on the condition of skeletal remains, specifically the type of cracking or fracturing exhibited or any changes in color or flexibility. After discussing the potential applications in both archaeology and anthropology, she outlines the existing literature on the topic and then describes her experiment testing dried or green pig and chicken bones in different temperatures.
