Rate My Professor Edda Guareschi

Guareschi's academic interests center on forensic sciences, with specializations in bone taphonomy and diagenesis, forensic anthropology, forensic pathology, and forensic odontology. Her research examines taphonomic processes in various environments, including fluvial settings, maritime contexts, and green burials, often drawing on museum skeletal collections and shipwreck remains. She collaborates with the Western Australia Shipwrecks Museum, contributing to studies on submerged bone preservation applicable to forensic investigations. Key publications include 'Bone Diagenesis II: The Contribution of Maritime Archaeology' (2025), 'The Quiet Rest of the Warrior: A Story of Life, Death, Taphonomy and Bone Diagenesis' (2024), 'Potential Issues in the Conservation of Bone and Teeth in Maritime Archaeology' (2021), and 'A Taphonomic Examination of Inhumed and Entombed Remains in Parma Cemeteries, Italy' (2019). She holds additional appointments as Research Associate in Maritime Archaeology at the Western Australian Museum, Academic Sessional in the School of Medicine at the University of Notre Dame Australia, and Scientific Collaborator and Curator at the Südtiroler Archäologiemuseum in Bolzano, Italy. Guareschi has presented on topics such as insect colonization in confined crime scenes and the role of diagenesis in forensic taphonomy.
