Bone area(s) These are numbers assigned to areas of a bone that are identifiable to species, skeletal element and body-side even when the bone is heavily fragmented. The allocation of zones to specific bones varies; this system was devised by James Rackham and provides a useful brief description of what part of a bone is present.
