Most forensic taphonomy literature focuses on the buried cadaver and associated items, which of course are of most interest in whatever legal process is involved. But here forensic scientists, soil scientists, archaeologists, and others discuss the process of decomposition in soils, the decomposer in the soil, and the basic physiochemical composition of the soil as its relates to forensic science and taphonomy. The point is to clarify the crucial questions of what happened and when. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
