Abstract	The forensic anthropological identification has been performed on carbonized bones found in a burned vehicle. Odontological examination revealed: 2 mandible fragments (right and left) with amalgam fillings on tooth 46 and partial eruption of 38; one maxillary fragment with 28 tooth partially erupted. The other bony fragments couldn't have been used for identification purposes due to the high carbonization degree and to the uncharacteristic morphological features. Serological exam results (blood group 0) has been interpreted as false positive, due to aglutinogenes degradation. Within the process of identificatio n of the person that the fragments belonged to, we established: gender (based on hip bone morphology and presence of male genitalia), possible age (based on the reduced abrasion degree), the correspondence between the odontological examination results and the ante mortem dental records and the DNA prints correspondence between that extracted from the fragments and those obtained from the missing person' s parents.
