Thanks for looking for that book @pinball1970. Abstracts almost never provide enough information and that is by design. I used to be able to get access to papers, but the censorship in my country is that of the USSR and so I am very limited. I think it is presumptious of people to suggest I...

You are pointing out the obvious again. I'm here to find the answer and I can't find it behind a paywall or some select organisation like a university [Insults and conspiracy theory deleted by the Mentors]

Thanks @renormalize, but as I previously stated, "One of the problems I'm sure most people encounter when doing research is most of the papers are behind a paywall". and although you kindly offer an excerpt (maybe you have paid access to that paper that I can't access), it doesn't actually say...

I had taken time to answer but the answer has been deleted. Your answer doesn't explain or help as I have already explained. How long would bones kept in a typical room in a European country like Italy last before they decay and decompose? There are millions if not billions of bones in...

Thanks, however, I'm asking if anyone knows of any research specifically related to: If bones were laid bare in a room at typical room temperatures for say southern Italy, how long would human bones take to decay naturally? So, not touched, in open air inside a room, and typical weather...

One of the problems I'm sure most people encounter when doing research is most of the papers are behind a paywall, however, I'm sure I don't need to tell you that, which is always a headscratcher when it comes to medical infomation that could save lives. Any information that could save lives...

No set time frame That's interesting. I'm not sure that the page and one statement they make confirms it as conclusive. I wonder if there are any other sources that people know of. Thanks for your input.

Thanks, but I cant see in the link you provided any information related to bones decomposing and turning to dust in a normal room environment. The only reference to bones is: Stage Four: Skeletonization Because the skeleton has a decomposition rate based on the loss of organic (collagen) and...

This is the type of research and it reports sort of what I stated: Abstract In the medicolegal context, forensic anthropologists assist investigators by gathering information from skeletal remains. While humans decompose in both indoor and outdoor environments, little research has been...

Thanks. It's a bit of a mess when trying to find something specific and even then there seem to be varying opinions. I was hoping someone knew the best source of information. Many of the research papers I looked at were very specific and not something similar to what I am asking. Thanks

If bones were laid bare in a room at typical room temperatures for say southern Italy, how long would human bones take to decay naturally? So, not touched, in open air inside a room, and typical weather conditions. Let's assume the doors are closed, but there is no insulation.
