Me n' F.T. recently purchased a home. It came with a really ugly yard... very flat with a lot of sink holes and patches of grass that differ in variety depending on what square foot you are standing on... I took it upon myself to do some amateur landscaping, but as I began to plant trees and shrubs and dig post holes, I started to notice that about 50% of the time, I was getting bone fragments in the soil that I was displacing. Now I'm an amateur CSI, and I would like to get your input. My husband washed the more prominent bones off, and here is what we found:  (trash bag added for dramatic effect and to preserve kitchen sanitation) These bones are a compilation of about 5 different locations, so i don't know if they go together as a skeleton or event or if they are completely unrelated. Pretty weird, eh? |

I chose Native American in lieu of the mountain meadow massacre. Same thing, right?

Regina cut one in half and describe what the matter inside looks like. We can easily tell if its human or non human this way.
Its hard to tell the size but estimating scale using the tiles underneath (guessing their size too) That scapula looks pretty small I'd say you have a pet or small woodlands creature.
I could be totally off I took forensics last year for a semester and rarely paid close attention.

who chose other other? I think you have to explain your choice when you choose other other.
I'm taking the bones in to a professor who teaches osteology today. That should be insightful. I'm only going to tell you what it is, though, if it's exciting. If it's nothing special I'll just let this thread wind down on its own.

Congratulations to anyone who voted for food source! There are cow bones, sheep bones, and either chicken or rabbit bones.
The most likely source of the bones? Well, my house was built during the 1930s over an old garbage pit (possible as much as 150 years old) from the days before municipal waste removal services. The construction dislocated the bones, and now no matter where I dig or how deep, I pull up long ago eaten animals!
Gross!

Isn't that a bit of a health hazard?
