__Death’s Acre 33-45 Notes__

__Bones:__ • Bones keep memory of trauma or injury • Flesh doesn’t remember those things or show them • Bones show injuries after death • Flesh on a dead person can be deceptive because of things that can happen to it after death such as bloating, rotting, etc. • Smaller bones: women and children • The pelvis is a good tool for determining age • Three groups for determining race: Negroid, Caucasoid, and Mongoloid. __Teeth__ • Third molars erupted does means its probably an adult • But the opposite doesn’t always occur •

When examining a body, specialists look for 4 things in particular: • sex • race • age • stature

- Biggest thing you want to find is positive identification - You want to know the cause of death
