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.
