Article Synopsis
- This study statistically analyzes decomposition rates and patterns of remains on different surfaces: concrete, gravel, and grass, using 11 pigs.
- While the overall rate of decomposition was similar across surfaces, significant variations in decomposition patterns were noted.
- Mummification was observed in all subjects, suggesting that surface type may be less influential on decomposition than other environmental factors.
