When human remains are recovered, three primary scientific methodsare traditionally used to identify who they belong to: 1. fingerprint analysis, which looks at the skin patterns on the tips of fingers 2. dental analysis, which looks at the teeth and any dental work, such as crowns and fillings 3. DNA analysis, which looks at DNA profiles recovered...
The discovery of medical implantsduring an autopsy can also be informative. These include prosthetic joints, breast implants, pacemakers or dental implants. Investigators may be able to link these to patient records via their unique markings, including a trade mark, date of manufacture and serial number. In Australia, the Australian Orthopaedic Ass...
These methods are only as good as the information we have from when the person was alive. So if someone doesn’t have their fingerprints on file and hasn’t visited a dentist recently, or if close living relatives aren’t available to provide a DNA reference sample or they’ve never had a CT scan, these methods are likely to be useless. And if a surgic...
Distinctive physical features like scars, birthmarks and body modifications such as tattoos and piercings, could help identify someone. Custom tattoos helped identify the victim of the famous 1935 “shark arm case” and decomposing bodies following the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami. A forensic anthropologistcan also study a set of skeletal remains to revea...
Beyond routine DNA testing to determine someone’s sex or relatives, more novel DNA methodsare showing promise for piecing together an image of a missing person. DNA can now be used to predict someone’s ancestry and hair, eye and skin colour. But using DNA to accurately estimate age and facial featuresis still some way off. Forensic genetic genealog...
Human taphonomic facilities, such as the Australian Facility for Taphonomic Experimental Research, study the science of how bodies decompose. These facilities, often called “body farms”, are importantfor developing new forensic identification techniques. The techniques can be tested on donated human bodies before being used in forensic cases. Read ...

How many human remains does the Smithsonian have in its collection? The Smithsonian has more than 30,000 human remains in its collections. Roughly half of these remains are of Native American individuals. Can the Smithsonian identify the remains? Does the Institution know where they all came from?
