Abstract:
In this study, 105 human samples (46 crematoriums, 37 from controlled experiments and 22 archaeological cremations) were analyzed using Xray diffraction (XRD) and infrared spectroscopy in attenuated total reflectance (ATR-IR) to highlight possible chemico- physical differences, in terms of mineralogical phases, crystallinity and spectral properties.
