Bone collagen as a factor for heat-induced warping was investigated in a new MSc thesis

Posted on by

Knowing the pre-burning condition of human remains is of critical importance for both archaeological and forensic science. Recently, this topic was innovatively addressed in a MSc thesis by Ana Vassalo. This research was carried out within the HOT project.

While the paper in English does not come out, you may download the thesis (in Portuguese) here.
