But in fact they speak volumes to someone who simply knows how to listen. Consider forensic anthropologist Bill Bass, a legend for what he has learned from the dead at his outdoor morgue at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, affectionately known as the Body Farm (official title: the Anthropological Research Facility). Here, scientists document the unpleasant yet remarkable process of human decay." (BIOGRAPHY) This article examines the work of Bill Bass, "a pioneer in forensic anthropology.".Summary: BODIES OF EVIDENCE -- "Jennifer Synstelien emerges from the tool shed wearing a knee-length plastic apron, surgical face mask and thick latex gloves. Unfazed by the smell of death wafting through the warm autumn air, she kneels next to a decomposing corpse. Her practiced hands wave at hovering flies as she opens the chest cavity and pokes around for the ehart with long, stainless steel forceps. It's gone--liquefied after a month of decay...So begins a normal day at the Body Farm, a gruesomely remakable research facility where 20 or so bodies at a time rot int he open air in the name of forensic science." (NEW SCIENTIST) This article focuses on a 'Body Farm' where forensic anthropologists utilize "corpses to study how time and nature treat the human body.".
