I looked up taphonomy, it relates to the study of fossilization. If by it you meant leaf placement, well, that's fine.

If there was a report that the leaves covering the tibia were undisturbed, I missed it. It seems to be animal or weather (rainwater washing leaves downhill) could have obscured the boned with leaves.

Nothing has been reported about the "condition" of the bones beyond their location.

The only reports I've seen about the "placement" of her clothes was the third-hand account in the Enquirer. A follow-up in the WashPost indicated the tights were knotted, but not where.

You might check out this this tutorial or other gruesome images related to taphonomic analysis of remains. taphonomic analysis of remains. This is all from a pretty fun beginners site.

You might buy the book

Or, consider a course of study.

I was being short and surly when I first told you to look up taphonomy. I thought you already knew what I was talking about!
