Forensic anthropology plays a crucial role in the investigation of human remains, providing valuable insights into the identity, cause of death, and circumstances surrounding the decomposition process. In Switzerland, the application of forensic anthropology in criminal investigations has evolved, with a particular focus on taphonomy—the study of decomposition processes and the environmental factors that influence them. This research examines forensic anthropology casework from Bern, Switzerland, with an emphasis on taphonomic implications for future investigations. By analyzing past cases, examining the environmental factors specific to the Swiss landscape, and exploring advancements in forensic methods, this article highlights the importance of taphonomy in forensic anthropology and offers recommendations for future research and practice.
