“…The degree of morphological change and the time course of decay after burial varies in the literature. The time to skeletization in an in-ground burial has been reported to be 4-8 years [5], 5-7 years [6], 7-10 years [7] and up to 10 years [8]. One group points out that lipid build-up on the body can delay soft tissue decay, such that even after 10-20 years the body is not yet completely skeletized.…”

“…Among the numerous morphological, chemical, physical, and histological dating techniques, the measurement of the chemiluminescence (CL) of weathered organic traces on bone finds by means of the luminol reaction is widely used as an inexpensive, quick, and simple method. Only a few, mostly older, publications can be found dealing with its practicality in the forensic osteology context mentioned above [1,2,4,22].…”

Multidisciplinary forensic, anthropological, and radiological studies of bone fragments encased in a concrete block were carried out to determine whether or not the bones were human. Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) investigation was performed before the bones were removed from the concrete. MSCT study pinpointed the location of the bone fragments within the concrete block, which was helpful for their extraction and recovery, and identified most of their types and nature. Osteological study on dry bones provided more accurate identification of the bones and of their side. According to both methods, the human skeletal remains were compatible with those of a child, aged 8-13 years old, with a minimum height of 128 cm. Neither investigation identified sex or racial phenotype. Both studies identified the skeletal remains as consisting of two animal and five human bones. Furthermore, both methods revealed that the concrete completely encased bones, suggesting a secondary burial.
