What happens to bones that hikers stumble upon in the woods depends on how old they are,
Andy Smetanka writes in the
Missoula Independent. He explores the various routes bones take and describes the work of the coroners, forensic pathologists, anthropologists, zoologists, law enforcement officials and Native American tribes who are involved in solving the puzzle of the remains' origin.
Smetanka's article is one of many stories from alternative weeklies featured in the
Health & Science section of
