Bone remains associated with forensic cases have an important place in solving the crime and finding the perpetrator. With the help of anthropological remains that can be found in the crime scene, it is possible to determine the biological characteristics of the victim to whom the remains belong, such as gender determination, age estimation, height estimation and race, as well as DNA studies. In such cases where Forensic Anthropology is used, the excavation, recovery and preservation of bone remains found at the crime scene, as well as documentation of them with photographs and drawings will contribute to answering many questions such as the identity of the individual, the cause of death, and the time of death. During these procedures, making the right interventions and reaching as much as possible of the skeletal finds and having the least damage play an important role in the clarification and resolution of the forensic case. In this study, a checklist has been created for crime scene investigation teams while collecting forensic anthropological evidence as to what to do at the crime scene and what they can do to protect the evidence. This list, which has been created for convenience in terms of repeatability, aims to provide planned action at the crime scene and to give an idea to the crime scene investigators about the appropriate collection and transportation of the skeletal remains in the absence of an anthropologist. There is no Forensic Anthropological Finding Collection Kit in the inventories of the units performing Crime Scene Investigation in Turkey. While the Crime Scene Investigation Kits are designed, the basic principle is to create hand-held, functional equipment containing materials in remote and hard-to-reach places. For this purpose, Forensic Anthropological Evidence Excavation Kit and Evidence Packages for Bones have been created to be used during the interventions to such cases. It is evaluated that this kit will facilitate correct interventions in cases where forensic anthropological evidence is present and will provide ease of use and time savings.
