Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

Yarramundi is 70 kilometres from Sydney's city centre, and the site of Australia's first taphonomic research facility, colloquially known as a Body Farm. The Australian Facility for Taphonomic Experimental Research - the AFTER program - is the first facility to be established for the study of body decomposition in Australia and indeed the Southern Hemisphere. Until now, this kind of research has been done mostly in the US, which has five of these centres.
