Abstract:The analysis of textiles as trace evidence is an important area of focus in the field of forensic science, because enhanced understanding of the decomposition of textiles may point to more accurate methods for estimating the post mortem interval (PMI) of remains found in association with these materials. This research is especially crucial in areas with unique climates, like the state of Florida. This study examines the generation of microclimates from the differential decomposition of various textile types. T… Show more
