The bones were examined macroscopically and microscopically, and all sharp force defects were identified and described according to element, location, side, length, width, and depth. 2. The anatomical positioning and number of the defects present on each bone were documented together with shape, length, depth, and direction (where possible). All kerf walls and floors were microscopically examined under a light microscope (magnification ranging from 8Â to 35Â), measured, and photographed (a “kerf” is the actual incised cut or channel; Symes et al.
