Anthropological examinations can determine whether something is a bone and, if so, whether it is human or animal in origin. Race, sex, approximate height and stature, and approximate age at death can be determined from human remains. Damage to bone such as cuts, blunt-force trauma, and bullet holes may also be examined.
