examination of bloodstains in order to provide an interpretation of the physical events which occured

• trail patters

• blood pattern analysis

pointed or elongated stains which radiate away from the central area of a bloodstain

• trail patters

bloodstain patterns formed by the movement of small or large amounts of blood by the pull of gravity

• trail patters

• flow patters

• pool patterns

bloodstain patterns formed by the dripping of blood off a moving surface or person in a recognizable pathway separate from other patterns

• trail patters

• flow patters

bloodstain patterns are created when blood is collected on a level and undisturbed surface

• trail patters

• flow patters

• skeletonization

• pool patterns

process by which the edges of a stain will dry to the surface in a specific period of time ( dependent upon environmental and surface conditions), typically within 50 seconds

• trail patters
