Post-Depositional Breakage is a taphonomic process involving the fracturing or fragmentation of biological remains after their initial burial, distinguished from ante-mortem or peri-mortem damage by its occurrence exclusively during the post-depositional phase of burial and exposure to geological and environmental forces.
