Why are deserts, tar pits, and ice good places to find body fossils?

The body fossils will be in good condition in deserts, tar pits and ice cold places. The bones will not rot or decay since decomposes are not able to function well in such areas. Bacteria will not be able to harm the body fossils either, since a lot of them do not function well or live long in such areas.
