The way the bodies are placed depends on what research protocol they're being used in.

But typically they're left uncaged on the surface, caged on the surface, buried, or wrapped in something.

So this is one that's left on the surface.

And this individual was originally clothed.

And then the scattering is from the different scavengers that have come.

Yeah, they're kind of pulled apart at different places.

What animal did this?

Well, mostly it started out with vultures.

And then probably you've had some raccoons and other things come since then.

But most of this is vulture activity.

All right, so the area that we're getting ready... Oh, look at this.

The area we're getting ready to go past, actually, this right here is a researcher actually from New York that's here.

So she's got bodies on the surface and bodies that are buried.

You can see the maggots pretty active.

at this stage.

And then, so this person has gone through bloat.

You guys all right?

So you can see, I was talking about the skin becomes really dark, associated with the sulfuric gas that's produced by the bacteria and stuff.

And then you get the active maggot masses going on.

Going through time, in a sense, and you can see...
