Vibrational spectroscopic techniques are applied to the osteometric study of burned human skeletal remains. This is an innovative way of tackling heat-induced changes in human bone tissue, aimed at relating burned to pre-burned parameters which will have a significant impact in forensic, bioanthropological and archaeological contexts.
