“…Conversely, the absence of more densely constructed bones might suggest a form of selection process (e.g., opportunistic scavenging of the remains when they are left exposed in an outdoor context -e.g., Moraitis & Spiliopoulou 2010;Spradley et al 2012-, or mass disasters with mutilated bodies -e.g., Barbería et al 2015;Seleye-Fubara et al 2012). Furthermore, this might reflect deliberate human modification of the remains (e.g., decapitation or dismemberment of a corpse in a homicide case, to hinder its identification - Konopka et al 2016;Zerbo et al 2018).…”

“…It is important to note that any losses of limbs or disfigurement that is the result of an accident (e.g., motor vehicle accidents and explosions) is not considered mutilation, as argued by Polat, Berna, and Altıntop from their analysis of three forensic cases . According to Konopka, Bolechała, Strona, and Kopacz , mutilation refers exclusively to bodily damage being directly executed or caused by a person to another person.…”

“…The North Carolina Human Identification and Forensic Analysis Laboratory at North Carolina State University worked 11 cases of dismemberment over a period of 9 years (2011–2019) [22]. Homicides involving criminal dismemberment are not unique to the United States, with 30 cases recorded in Poland over a 50‐year period (1965–2015), 22 cases recorded in Sweden over a 30‐year period (1961–1990), and 134 dismemberment cases over a 51‐year period (1947–1998) in Japan [14,21,24]. The prevalent employment of saws in acts of criminal dismemberment emphasizes the need to validate saw identification techniques and account for the subjectivity inherent to nonmetric morphological evaluations in order to produce more replicable results.…”

“…Various studies [14,[20][21][22][23][24] examining the prevalence of criminal dismemberment indicate that such cases are not a rare occurrence and emphasize the need to continue to standardize SFT analytical techniques. In New York City, 55 cases of criminal dismemberment were recorded over a 22-year period (1996-2017), with a ratio of one dismemberment case for every 224 homicide cases and an average of four cases annually [20].…”
