PREFACE:For my forensic anthropology course, we were split into groups for a 'study of decomposition' exercise. How are we going to study decomposition, you ask? Well, I'll tell you.

the pig def came in that box, haha.

the other surface group had to clothe the pig to see if it had any effect on decomposition rates, versus our naked pig. also to see if animals, bugs, etc. are attracted to one pig or the other. and to see, when it's fully decomposed into just skeleton, if the bones remain in the articles of clothing.

haha.
