Scavenging behavior can displace remains from their depositional context, confound postmortem interval estimation, destroy osteological markers, and inflict damage that mimics or disguises perimortem trauma. Consequently, the actions of vertebrate scavengers can significantly impact the medicolegal investigation of human remains. It is therefore critical when interpreting a death scene and its associated evidence that scavenging be recognized and the possible effects of scavenging behavior considered. This book is an ideal reference for both students and medicolegal professionals, serving as a field manual for the identification of common scavenging species known to modify human remains in North America. In addition, this book presents a framework to guide investigators in optimizing their approach to scavenged cases, promoting more complete recovery of human remains and the accuracy of forensic reconstructions of peri- and postmortem events.--$cSource other than Library of Congress. 606 $aForensic taphonomy 606 $aScavengers (Zoology) 615 0$aForensic taphonomy. 615 0$aScavengers (Zoology) 676 $a614.1 700 $aSincerbox$b Susan N.$0940301 702 $aDiGangi$b Elizabeth A. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910583462903321 996 $aForensic taphonomy and ecology of North American scavengers$92120360 997 $aUNINA
