knife (?) marks on bone

[alfonso]

Thanks

[JohnJ]

What size is the bone? Was it collected from deposits with other fossil bones?

[alfonso]

Hi, find near human bones so not fossil, but interest if human bone, why marks on?

[Raggedy Man]

I can definitely say these are not human.

[alfonso]

Thanks Raggedy Man, please tell me, horse, pig or bos seu bison bone?

[alfonso]

maybe tibia ?

[alfonso]

Because of my occupation, I'm more familiar with human bones than non.

[alfonso]

Hi JohnJ I don't know exactly size, but on picture (red circle) near other human bones. Pig tibia maybe shorter.

These are definitely parts of the modern human skeleton. The bone in question is a right tibia

near this

Here you can see a badly weathered right humerus, fibula and a partial left scapula. You have probably found a recent or archaeological human grave, exposed by soil erosion. "Cut marks" on the body of tibia are postmortem (made by digging tool or plow).

Here are some bones from my museum's anthropological collection

Thank You Sargon ! "digging tool or plow" good idea, Thanks. I forgot to tell: here was a turkish war

[Scylla]

Are these from the Polish- Ottoman wars?

It would be interesting to examine the whole skeleton in detail. To me, these do not look like blade inflicted wounds, but frankly, I can't be positively sure based on these pictures.

[alfonso]

Thank You. I have no bones only old photos. All was on ground's surface. (i buried). last photos about marks, see some "blood" (?) = past mark (?)
