- Abstract:
- We have applied spectroscopic and physicochemical techniques to the osteometric study of four human skeletons and teeth, all the biomaterials experimentally burned in a furnace at 1100° C. This is an innovative way of tracking heat-induced changes in human bone, in terms of physico-chemical properties related with structure, which is expected to impact in forensic, bioanthropological and archaeological contexts.
