Just had to pass on a fabulous fact I heard on the radio yesterday for those of
you interested in excarnation.
Biologists estimate that to consume two to three bodies a day requires a
population of 300 to 500 vultures.
This fact was contained in a radio 4 program about zooastrianism, a religion
that exposes the dead for consumption by vultures.
Are there any good papers on excarnation and zooarchaeology?
