Multidisciplinary examination of putrefaction fluid deposits (PFD) for forensic and anthropological purposes

External protocol Created on 07 Mar 2014

Authors

Charlier Philippe

Summary

We present here the complete methodology for the microscopic analysis of residues of putrefaction fluid, a calcified deposit frequently found associated with bone rests, for both physical and forensic anthropology purposes. Sampling and analysis seem straightforward and relatively reproducible. All samples are studied by direct optical microscope and scanning electron microscopy. Many cytological, histological, and elemental analysis are possible, producing precious data for the identification of these remains and, in some cases, the cause of death.
