Tool+Mark+Analysis

So to begin with, we took tools and made impressions in clay like stuff. We then tried to determine what tools were in each others pieces of clay. Later, we made a cast of tool marks in a piece of wood. We then determined what tool marks were used to make the impressions. We learned that the use of tools of certain objects usually leaves a unique impression in the material. The use of the casts were to have an impression of the tools without actually contaminating the evidence. Figuring out the type of tool used can usually help determine how a crime was committed and possibly who did it but not always. Tool marks themselves are not conclusive enough evidence to find someone guilty.
