Abstract
The identification of human remains has frequently been of considerable importance in our courts. Usually investigations of long-dead human tissues stress the findings in the hard tissues and pay little or no attention to soft tissues. This article presents some of the histological findings in tissues from 33 adipocerous bodies inhumed in a dry environment for periods from 103 to 127 years.Keywords
