摘要
A partial calvaria, dredged front the sea-bed some years previously, was referred to LIS for examination. The presence of a well-established mollusc colony [1] on the vault allowed us to establish a minimum elapsed time since death. Such a cross-disciplinary co-operative study is of great advantage in expediting a satisfactory conclusion. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
