At least I think that's the field I'm looking for.
I need to know if there is a way, through collagen collecting, DNA testing with PCR, etc., what is the defining characteristic in a piece of a BONE that would tell that it is human, i.e., is it possible to tell the # of chromosomes, or some other method?
And also: what are some ways of determining chronometric age in such a sample (besides C-14, Potassium-Argon, etc.)?
Thanks!
