Este artículo muestra las aproximaciones interdisciplinarias que integran conocimientos respecto a los suelos de cementerios contemporáneos y antiguos e inhumaciones clandestinas que producen interés científico bio-geo-arqueológico, forense reciente, lo anterior es lo que compila el estudio de los Necrosoles. Las investigaciones al respecto, plantean interrogantes pedogenéticos, antropogénicos, morfológicos, de características físico-químicas y microbiológicas. Así los Necrosoles se definen con precisión e incluyen en propuestas para sistemas taxonómicos locales y mundiales. Los suelos de los cementerios tienen propiedades físico-químicas y microbiológicas variables, antrópicas, temporalidades e insumos orgánicos e inorgánicos exógenos y predominancia de procesos de cambio ambiental. Actualmente, las necrópolis en las urbes y la proximidad a fuentes de agua e impactos de estos suelos en la salud pública y ambiente, se evalúan en investigaciones científicas. También aumenta el interés por las características de entierros ilegales de cuerpos humanos e integración de herramientas pedológicas y forenses. Revisamos los estudios de Necrosoles y el desarrollo de la investigación científica experimental ligada a efectos e implicaciones de entierros humanos
This article shows the interdisciplinary approaches that integrate knowledge regarding the contemporary and ancient cemetery soils and clandestine burials that produce bio-geo-archaeological, recent forensic scientific interest, the above is what compiles the Necrosols study. The investigations in this regard raise pedogenetic questions, anthropogenic, morphological, physicochemical and microbiological characteristics. Thus, Necrosols are precisely defined and included in proposals for local and global taxonomic systems. Cemetery soils have variable chemical, microbiological, anthropogenic, temporal and organic physical and inorganic exogenous physical properties and predominance of environmental change processes. Currently, the necropolis in the cities and the proximity to water sources and these soils impacts on public health and environment, are evaluated in scientific research. It also increases interest in soil characteristics knowledge affected by illegal human bodies. We review Necrosols studies and scientific research origins and development in experimental approaches as than effects and implications of human body burials.
