Abstract:
A partial calvaria, dredged from the sea-bed some years previously, was referred to us for examination. The presence of a well-established mollusc colony 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.
