Shellseeker Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Thanks for sharing -- VERY interesting: ... "The hydrated state of the brain and the lack of evidence for putrefaction suggests that burial, in the fine-grained, anoxic sediments of the pit, occurred very rapidly after death. This is a distinctive and unusual sequence of events, and could be taken as an explanation for the exceptional brain preservation."... So maybe if you quickly (10 minutes after death) pop the deceased skull into low oxygen fine grained (sandy? soil), soft tissue is preserved forever. Something does not ring true. If this were correct, we would have lots more examples.
