Summary of Bill Bass & Jon Jefferson's Beyond the Body Farm

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I had a memorable experience in 1964, when I was an eager assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Kansas at Lawrence. I was excavating skeletons in the ancient hilltop citadel of Hasanlu, in northwestern Iran.

#2 I was invited to Iran in 1964 to help excavate ancient graves at Hasanlu. I found the skeletal remains of three men who had died while at a dead run, their arms and legs frozen in perpetual near-motion. The object cradled in their arms was a bowl made of solid gold.

#3 I was asked to help answer the question of who the three men in the bowl were. I thought I could, but it would not be easy. I needed to travel to Iran and dig up the bones of soldiers from both ancient armies, and compare their measurements to those of the area’s modern inhabitants.

#4 I developed a case of diarrhea in Tehran, which was not bad, but I took some Imodium tablets to help. After a couple of nights in Tabriz, we finally hit the road for Hasanlu.
