		The body is pale gray-green, quivering with the larvae feeding on its back, which has melted into a liquefied surface as soggy as a bar of soap.
		Bodies are buried, left in the open air, covered with canvas (which encourages maggots to go at them) or entombed in one of the rusting cars to test how decomposition rates vary.
		Bass similarly used his Body Farm insights to unravel a would-be "perfect crime." On Dec. 16, 1993, the Mississippi police were called to a cabin in the small town of Summit.

	Death's Acre: Inside the Legendary Forensic Lab the Body Farm Where the Dead Do Tell Tales
		But if the body's badly decayed--for instance, if it was dumped in the woods and lay there for weeks or months before being found by hunters--determining time since death requires detailed knowledge of the stages of decomposition, the role of temperature and humidity, the extent of insect activity in the corpse, and so on.
		Those are the kinds of variables we've spent decades researching at the Body Farm.
		If a body that comes through a county medical examiner's office ends up going unclaimed--either because the person is never identified or because no one ever shows up to claim the body--the ME might send it to us for decomposition research or for addition to our skeletal collection.

	Las Vegas SUN: CCSN may become home to forensic lab, 'body farm'
		It's a pathologist's playground of sorts, where human bodies decay in the open air in pursuit of medical knowledge -- and Las Vegas could be the second city to have one.
		While the body farm has been the basis for much of the scientific information about how human bodies decay, the information can be difficult to apply to cases that take place in an arid environment such as Las Vegas, officials said.
		The types of insects associated with human remains and the kind of animals that scavenge in the desert are different from those in the East, he said.

		When a person dies, the body begins to decay immediately and the enzymes in the digestive system begin to eat the tissue.
		At any time, we generally receive about twenty-five bodies in the process and they stay there for about a year." As each stage of decomposition is recorded and analyzed, it's added to the growing data bank that is made available to law enforcement.
