Abstract
<p class="first" id="d100383e54">Hacking trauma is often encountered in forensic cases,
but little experimental research
has been conducted that would allow for the recognition of wounds caused by specific
weapon types. In this paper, we report the results of a hacking trauma caused by machete,
cleaver, and axe weapons and the characteristics of each weapon type on bone. Each
weapon type was employed in multiple trials on pig (Sus scrofa) bones and then the
wounds were examined macroscopically for several characteristics that serve to differentiate
the weapons.
