Taphonomy – With this in mind, in what sorts of environments do you think hominin remains are most likely to survive intact long enough to be discovered by a paleoanthropologist?

Paper instructions:
When an animal dies in its natural environment, think of all the factors that play a role in whether or not its remains will end up being a fossil. Imagine all the natural processes that can affect an animal’s remains when they are lying out in the open and imagine what sorts of geologic processes might eventually cover them up before they are completely scattered or destroyed. With this in mind, in what sorts of environments do you think hominin remains are most likely to survive intact long enough to be discovered by a paleoanthropologist? Feel free to do some brief research on this question – the scientific term for the processes that affect the survival of fossils is ‘taphonomy’.
