Abstract
Bone is a complex heterogeneous material with a range of corresponding properties. Yet it is this heterogeneity that causes particular problems when it comes to studying heat-induced changes. One potential way of addressing these problems is to examine the changing crystalline structure of bone when it is heated. This chapter discusses this approach to the study of burned bone and describes some of the methods and techniques available. It concludes by drawing together the results of a number of studies to present a fuller interpretation of the effect of burning on bone crystallinity whilst suggesting ways for the future.
