It plays host to an abundance of interdependent chemical, physical, and biological processes, which are greatly influenced by the inclusion of a body and its subsequent decay. However, while taphonomy continues to emerge as a valuable forensic tool, until now most of the attention has been on the cadaver rather than the grave itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSoil Analysis in Forensic Taphonomy: Chemical and Biological Effects of Buried Human Remains \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eis the first book to concentrate entirely on the telling impact of soil and its components on the postmortem fate of human remains.
