Abstract:		 This paper develops a theory for describing those diagenetic changes in bone which involve its interaction with groundwater. Three main processes are considered; namely the uptake of uranium, the dissolution of bone, and the increase of crystallinity of the bone mineral (carbonate hydroxyapatite or dahllite). Here simple models of the chemistry involved are postulated (although how bone interacts with water on a molecular scale is not clearly known) in order to demonstrate the theory with explicit mechanisms and values. Greater emphasis is given to uranium uptake, since the model used is comparatively detailed, being based on the authors' previous work.
