Soft-tissue Decay

Soft-Tissue Decay is a biological degradation process characterized by the post-mortem breakdown of non-mineralized tissues in organic remains under controlled experimental conditions, distinguishing it from other taphonomic processes through its focus on the temporal dynamics and mechanisms of decomposition affecting anatomically labile structures.
