Experimentation regarding thermal effects on human bone provides valuable information that is needed to interpret ancient remains as well as modern forensic cases. Applications of this information in the forensic arena often clarify key issues in case interpretation. The forensic experience also contributes to the knowledge available on thermal effects on bone, by using information gleaned from the cases. Thus, forensic casework involves a two-way academic street of information flow. General knowledge of thermal effects is needed to interpret particular problems presented by the cases. Resolution of cases, with disclosure of the circumstances leading to the thermal effects, yields valuable information that enhances methodology and diagnoses of future applications. Problems presented by forensic casework can also stimulate new research and subsequently enhance methodology. Although forensic analysis has traditionally been applied to individual cases brought to the laboratory, increasingly forensic anthropologists are involved in recovery and analysis issues of complex cases, including those involving mass fatalities (Sledzik and Rodriguez 2002; Sledzik 2009). These can include aeroplane crashes, military incidents, civil strife, terrorist activities, natural disasters, and other events, which produce fatalities with associated thermal alterations. Forensic anthropologists provide a vital service in the recovery and interpretation of evidence in the aftermath of such events. These unique experiences yield valuable information on the thermal effects on human remains. One lesson learned from such experience is that advanced thermal conditions can lead to extensive fragmentation of bones and teeth (McKinley 1989; Ubelaker 2009). A classic well-known product of thermal exposure on a human body is the pugilistic pose involving contraction of the muscles of the arms producing those limbs positioned as if in the boxer’s position (Saukko and Knight 2004). This position, involving the legs as well as the arms, is commonly encountered when most soft tissue is preserved and the heat is of low duration and intensity. In such cases, the bones may escape alteration via protection by the soft tissue. If the heat is prolonged and extensive, the soft tissue will probably be burned away, exposing the underlying bone. This process may produce varying bone exposure, depending on the position of the individual and other factors (Fairgrieve 2008).
