Corpse farm

In the North American locality of Tennessee, Knoxville, is a complex known like Anthropological Research center. A wooded land of approximately 1,2 hectares, where tens of human corpses have been scattered voluntarily, in order to study meticulously what is the decomposition process after the death, in different atmospheres and positions from the own body. The bodies appear outdoors, halfed-bury, totally buried, inside cars, submerged in the water, hanged people

The creator of all this is forensic anthropologist Bill Bass. The forensic anthropology is the discipline that is in charge to identify to people from its bones, by difficult that they seem these contribute many but data of which we can be imagined. For example, sex, the age, the race, the stature Also the bones can keep awake if a person underwent some serious infection, if she had some fall in the childhood

The assignment of this farm is to respond to the questions, of which it happens when a body is outdoors put under the inclemencies of the humid climate. And if the climate is dry? And if the body is submerged in the water? Hanged person.  In order to reach the answers he was decided to place the corpses in the same situation that posed the questions. For that reason, in the enclosure semisunk, placed bodies can be observed, inside left, catched cars in the weeds. Also rest of humans are burned to include/understand as the fire affects to the weave and the bones. It is observed how they are arriving the insects to feed itself on the meat, having determined the exact moment of the death, discipline that study the forensic entomologists. Of there the importance of this place for the criminal investigation.

Really, this center this contributing to numbers data for the development of the forensic anthropology and although is macabre, is the unique way to include/understand as they are the phases in which the human body is disturbed after the death. Next we left an illustrative video you of how it is the center
