“…[39] In the study published by Silva, the number of incipient ridges increased with age among males. [40] Different from that observed in males, there was a reduction in the number of incipient ridges among older females. Wentworth et al found no variation was detected in incipient ridges by observing a child's inked impressions collected every two years within ten years.…”

Fingerprints provide sufficient and reliable discriminative characteristics which have been considered one of the most robust evidence for individualization. The limitation of current minutiae‐based fingerprint technology seems to be solved with the development of level 3 features since they can offer additional information for problematic fingerprint recognition and even donor profiling. So far, tremendous efforts have been devoted to detecting and analysing the third‐level details. This review summarizes the advances in level 3 details with an emphasis on their reliability assessment, visualization methods based on physical interaction, residue‐response, mass spectrometry and electrochemical techniques, as well as the potentiality for individualization, donor profiling and even other application scenarios. In the end, we also give a personal perspective on the future direction and the remaining challenges in the third‐level‐detail‐related field. We believe that the new exciting progress is expected in the development of level 3 detail detection and analysis with continued interest and attention to this field.

“…Although the number of the epidermal ridges does not change, their size does, enlarging on growing hands and feet (Loesch & Czyzewska, 1971;1972;David, 1981;Subirá, & Malgosa, 1988; Gutiérrez-Redomero et al, 2011a). Once adulthood is reached, any changes in the size of the ridges are due to changes in muscle or fat, or to bone deformations related to work, exercise, or aging (Silva et al, 2016;Sánchez-Andrés et al, 2018). The changes in size produced during the growth and development of an individual allow his or her age and height to be inferred from impressions produced or left involuntarily on any substrate (Cummins et al, 1941;Kamp et al, 1999;Králík & Novotný, 2003b;Mundorff et al, 2014;Brazelle et al, 2017).…”

This article analyses fingerprints identified on a set of backed clay Egyptian funerary figurines, known as ushabtis. The strata in which they were found dates from the late Persian to the early Ptolemaic dynasties (ca. fifth to third centuries BCE), but the objects might have been made some two centuries earlier, during the Twenty-Fifth Dynasty, and then reused for a later burial. The authors propose that fingerprints preserved on ancient objects can be used to understand the roles that age and sex played in the organization of production systems in ancient societies. The Mean Ridge Breadth (MRB) and Mean Ridge Density (MRD) of each discrete fingerprint was measured. The craftworkers´ ages and heights were calculated from the MRB using specific regression equations, and their probable sex was determined by correlating the MRD with that of the reference population (contemporary Sudan). An age/sex identification matrix was then created to combine the results of MRB and MRD determinations for each piece. The results show, with high probability, that around 90% of the ushabtis were made by female adolescents between the ages of 11 and 16, and the remainder by children and some adult women. Between four and eight craftworkers manufactured the ushabtis, and due to their age and the relatively low level of skill required, it is proposed that they are likely to have been in the learning phase of their trade.

“…Um dos maiores desafios na identificação datiloscópica envolve a obtenção de um registro adequado em idosos [4]. A idade avançada faz com que os desenhos digitais se apaguem e, ainda, a epiderme delgada dificulta a coleta de forma padrão, prejudicando a comparação datiloscópica [4].…”

Os principais métodos de identificação de um cadáver desconhecido são o datiloscópico, o odonto-legal, o antropológico e o genético (DNA). Destes, o datiloscópico destaca-se como o mais antigo, o mais utilizado e o de melhor custo-benefício. Um dos desafios na identificação datiloscópica envolve a obtenção de um registro adequado em idosos. A idade avançada faz com que os desenhos digitais se apaguem e a epiderme delgada dificulta a coleta de forma padrão. Vários são os métodos necropapiloscópicos disponíveis para uso nestes casos, mas, como há particularidades em casos individuais, quanto maior o arsenal técnico disponível, maiores as chances de obtenção de um registo adequado. Neste relato é descrita a técnica por vesicação com alta temperatura, que permite a utilização tanto da epiderme como da derme na obtenção do registro datiloscópico. Esta técnica é simples, rápida e de baixo custo, o que permite sua aplicação mesmo em locais com pouca estrutura. E também pode ser realizada em quaisquer casos nos quais haja o apagamento das cristas e sulcos interpapilares. Outra vantagem é não necessitar da remoção do dedo a ser utilizado, minimizando a manipulação e a deformação cadavérica. Os autores esperam que a divulgação desta técnica contribua para sua utilização na prática forense e que estimule estudos sobre ela, para que seja aprimorada pela percepção e correção de eventuais problemas técnicos.
