Does not show histological change as described by several previous studies (Hanson and Cain 2007; Roberts et al. 2002). Transmission electron microscopy analysis of structural changes in collagen fibers can be used to detect low-level heating as described by Koon et al. (2003). This method has proven reliable in sorting cooked and noncooked archaeological bone (Koon et al. 2008). In addition to color change and incorporation of carbon (which is again lost with increasing temperatures), another histological indicator of thermal alteration is cracks emanating from the Haversian canals (Brain 1993; Hanson and Cain 2007).

The presence or absence of microbial alteration is (semi) quantified using the Oxford Histological Index (OHI; Hedges et al. 1995; Millard 2001). The OHI is a scale of six categories ranging from 5 (pristine bone) to 0 (no original bone left). Turner-Walker and Syversen (2002) have developed a method quantifying microbial (bacterial) alteration using BSE-SEM and digital image analysis. This method results in a Bioerosion Index (BI), which offers information on the percentage of original bone matrix destroyed by bacterial alteration.
