Taphonomic Modification

Taphonomic Modification is a process-level explanatory construct in forensic taphonomy that belongs to the class of postmortem alteration phenomena and is specifically differentiated by its focus on distinguishing biological, chemical, and physical changes to organic remains resulting from environmental, biotic, and abiotic factors from those caused by perimortem trauma or human activity.
