A test of the citrate method of PMI estimation from skeletal remains

A test of the citrate method of PMI estimation from skeletal remains

Highlights • The method of citrate content for PMI estimation is tested using pig ribs. • Citrate content in bone was found to decrease with increased PMI. • Terrestrial and aquatic environments did not differ significantly in citrate loss. • The method is relatively simple and inexpensive to apply....

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • The method of citrate content for PMI estimation is tested using pig ribs. • Citrate content in bone was found to decrease with increased PMI. • Terrestrial and aquatic environments did not differ significantly in citrate loss. • The method is relatively simple and inexpensive to apply. • Additional study of this method is needed.
