Bone or Stone? Human or Non-Human?

Attendees of this 2-hour webinar should gain an understanding of what to do if they encounter possible human bones, at a scene.

Distinguishing human from non-human bone is a difficult task. Whenever possible, that task should be left up to a forensic anthropologist who is professionally trained in human osteology, which is the detailed study of the structure of bones, skeletal elements, teeth, microbone morphology, function, disease, pathology, the process of ossification, and the resistance and hardness of bones. With that said, it is also important for crime scene investigators and other forensic specialists to be able to recognize and differentiate human bone from non-human bone on a scene, to save time, money, and resources. For example, according to Forensic Anthropologist, Dr. Bill Bass (1995), 25-30% of all bone cases submitted for forensic identification and analysis are non-human. Those resources could have been used for other purposes.
 
Topics include:

  • Is suspected material bone?
  • If it is bone, is it human or non-human?
  • How do we differentiate human from faunal bones?
  • If it is human, how do we decide if it is contemporary or non-contemporary?
  • Forensic Taphonomy
 
This course is appropriate for all crime scene and law enforcement personnel and is considered at a basic level.
