The chances are that any animal that has died or been killed, will, in whole or in part, come to be buried. The bones may first be cooked, chewed, gnawed, or swallowed so that only isolated bones remain. They may lie on the surface for an indefinite period so that scavengers pick them clean or they become weathered by wind and sun. Finally, what remains will be interred in the soil either by the accumulation of deposits above it or by deliberate burial in a grave or midden. Immediately after death certain changes in the bone will begin to take place
