Burned Bone Taphonomy

Burned Bone Taphonomy is a subfield of skeletal taphonomy that specifically investigates the postmortem alterations, distribution, and preservation of bone remains affected by fire, distinguishing itself through its focus on thermal alteration processes and their implications for interpreting site formation, combustion events, and bone diagenesis in archaeological and forensic contexts.
