Forensic Taphonomy By: Corey Colburn

What is Forensic Taphonomy Taphonomy is the study of the processes that affect the decomposition, dispersal, erosion, burial, and re-exposure of organisms after, at, and even before death. It is the study of the fate of human remains. Forensic Taphonomy is a subfield of forensic anthropology. There are two branches of forensic taphonomy which are biotaphonomy and geotaphonomy.

Biotaphonomy Biotaphonomy examines the remains themselves and asks how decomposition and destruction of the hard and soft tissue was brought about. Biotaphonomic variables can be subdivided for convenience in to three broad categories: Environmental factors, Individual factors, and Cultural factors.

Geotaphonomy Geotaphonomy is the study of how someone who buries a body, and how the body itself affects the surrounding geological and botanical environment.
