The authors report on their macro- and microscopy study of bone lesions made by a sharp force instrument (a single blade knife), and a sharp-blunt instrument classified as a chopping weapon (a hatchet). The aim of this work was to attempt to identify the instrument by analyzing the general class characteristics of the cuts. Each weapon was used on human bones. The results indicate that macroscopic analysis is more problematic. The microscopic analysis assessed that characteristics examined were effective in distinguishing sharp from sharp-blunt injury to the bone. The microscope facilitates analysis unachievable with macroscopic methods, some three-dimensional characteristics not visible to the naked eye being clearly defined with its use. Emphasis has been placed on the value of SEM as an anthropologist's tool in bone lesion injuries.
作者报告了他们对由锐器（单刃刀）和被归类为砍砸武器的锐钝器（斧头）造成的骨损伤进行的宏观和微观研究。这项工作的目的是试图通过分析切口的一般类别特征来识别工具。每种武器都用于人体骨骼。结果表明，宏观分析存在更多问题。微观分析评估认为，所检查的特征对于区分骨骼的锐器伤和锐钝器伤是有效的。显微镜有助于进行宏观方法无法实现的分析，使用显微镜可以清晰地界定一些肉眼不可见的三维特征。重点强调了扫描电子显微镜作为人类学家研究骨损伤工具的价值。
