ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that certain radiographic features can be found to distinguish between human and animal long bone fragments, and therefore would be useful as an adjunct in forensic science identification. Using proposed radiographic criteria, 13 archeologists and 12 dentists were asked to identify 20 radiographic samples as representing human or animal bone. Results showed that archeologists correctly identified 86.8 percent of the samples, and dentists correctly identified 81.9//. Based on the results of this study, it was conclueded that radiographic interpretation of long bone fragments may be a useful aid in a forensic science investigation of human and animal remains
