“…These are equivalent to fractures described as 'dry bone fractures' by Outram et al (2005) in a comparative study of intermingled human and animal remains. In medico-legal contexts fracture outline, angles and surfaces are used to evaluate when fractures occurred (Sauer, 1998;Symes et al, 2014) and similar features are used in zooarchaeological analyses to elucidate the taphonomic history of assemblages and their composition (Karr and Outram, 2012a), as well as to differentiate human from natural agency (Karr and Outram, 2012b).…”

“…Another potential application of these invariants is the detection of fracture edges, meaning ridges delineating the boundaries between original surfaces of the bone and break surfaces. Paleoanthropologists and zooarchaeologists study human biological and behavioral evolution and are interested in fracture edges because they provide valuable information about the agent of fragmentation [13,17,30], which may be, for example, humans, large carnivores, trampling, geological processes, or hydraulic action [21,26]. Determining the agent of fragmentation is essential for reconstructing how archaeological sites were formed.…”

“…However, taphonomic processes are prone to equifinality e where different processes lead to overlapping or indistinguishable end results. Butchery traces can be difficult to distinguish from marks left by very different processes that bring stone into contact with bone, such as trampling (Behrensmeyer et al, 1986;Olsen and Shipman, 1988; or natural rock falls (Oliver, 1989;Fernandez-Jalvo, 2012;Karr and Outram, 2012). At a superficial level, carnivore tooth marks may also resemble certain types of butchery marks, such as percussion marks (Blumenschine and Selvaggio, 1988), and carnivore tooth marks may also be mimicked in turn by processes such as microbial bioerosion (Domínguez-Rodrigo and Barba, 2006).…”
