Well, what do you know? After a hiatus of six years, we're back! (Not that we ever went anywhere). The campaign for a Human Taphonomy Facility in the UK is still going strong! New blog post: https://t.co/7ueA71Wvca #htf4uk#teamtaphonomy#werestillhere#westillneedone
The first Canadian site for Research in experimental and social thanatological sciences REST [ES] is active, with its first two human decomposition experiments launched today!
Thank you to the late donors and their families.
Historic moment for researchers!
