So! For my bones, I preferred to preserve them myself. What did I do? First you kill the bacteria, bleach, peroxide, whatever. Then you dry it! So more bacteria doesn't come to eat them. To do that, you can put them in air tight casing - OR you can varnish them, coat them in wax, what have you.
It looks like these bones are all preserved differently. The top left, adjacent femur, and anterior tibia and fibula, seem to be varnished/waxed, I can't tell, the original finder thought wax based on the texture, so we'll go with that. the pelvis doesn't look so well done, he probably used a varnish and messed up. Tragic - now for the sacrum, it looks to have been bleached, then sealed - the original finder said that he found them in a plastic bag, so I would assume this is the cause. Same goes for the white, cracked bone. Why is it cracked? Definitely post mortem - anger? frustration? accident? who knows. He might.
The one to its right, I think belongs to the same family as the tibia across from it - they're preserved the same way, and one is left leg, one is right. The only discrepancy is that one is longer than the other.
This can mean one of two things! Either they belong to a different person - or the same person, who was malformed. Malformations in length are common, but not in breadth - this one is sizabley thinner than its brother. Why? My guess, malnutrition - this means he was either
A) from long ago
B) poor
C) very old upon death
Which is it? I don't know. I'm going to sleep soon, if nobody else is interested.
