bone identification

Bone identification involves examining the shape, size, and features of bones to determine their origin, such as which part of the body they belong to or which individual they came from. Experts analyze factors like surface markings, joints, and overall structure to distinguish different bones. This process helps in forensic investigations, archaeology, and medicine by providing information about identity, age, or cause of injury. Careful comparison with known bone references allows for accurate identification, ensuring reliable results in understanding human remains or those of animals.
