Abstract
Following removal of soft tissue, the major methods of final flesh and grease removal are outlined: burial in sand; maceration in cold, warm, or hot water; maceration using chemicals (e.g., alkali) or enzymes; animal consumption (e.g., dermestes). Degreasing and bleaching finish the treatment. -- AATA
