Influence of taphonomic factors on bone and dental tissue degradation.
Lichnerová, Katarína ; Eliášová, Hana (advisor) ; Brůžek, Jaroslav (referee)
Post-mortem decomposition of skeletal remains is a response to the interactive effects of abiotic and biotic environmental factors (eg. climatic factors, the nature of the soil, the influence of water, microorganisms, plants, animals, humans). The present work deals with the effects of the taphonomic factors on skeletal and dental material. Only marginally affects the degradation of soft tissue. It describes changes in the integrity of the skeletal remains deposited on the surface or in the soil. Also discusses the extreme conditions that may be expose bones and teeth in connection with cannibalism or suppression of identity of the individual. Emphasises the importance of the knowledge of taphonomy tissues of the body in the context of archaeology and forensic anthropology.
