Screening is frequently the most overlooked and underappreciated task at a burial or skeletal scatter scene, yet it is important for locating small bone fragments, teeth, ballistic evidence, personal effects, and other evidence that may otherwise be missed.

A thorough screening process helps ensure a more complete recovery and a better understanding of the scene as a whole. Take a moment to say thank you to your screeners. 😊🦴💀🪏
